Mass timber is no longer a narrow niche. From industrial facilities to corporate headquarters, schools and offices, we’re seeing a surge in use of this sustainable, high-performance building material. To help meet that demand, Zurich E&S is enhancing its mass timber support through wholesale channels: ✅ More Builder’s Risk capacity — increasing to $75M (from $50M). ✅ Now accepting submissions for primary operational property coverage from wholesale brokers — and offering up to $75M for best-in-class mass timber risks. “This means Zurich E&S, working with wholesale brokers, can now support projects from groundbreaking to grand opening and beyond,” says Merritt Oliver, Head of E&S Property. “This offering will help wholesale brokers sharpen their competitive edge in a growing market.” “With Zurich a market leader in construction solutions, we’re pleased that our E&S business can deepen our commitment to mass timber and bridge the gap between Builder’s Risk and Operational Property for wholesalers,” adds Matt Wagner, RVP for Construction Property in the East region and Construction E&S Distribution Leader. “Zurich is proud to be out front in insuring mass timber — both in the wholesale and retail markets,” says Patrick McBride, Head of Construction Property. “We’re helping contractors, developers and owners build more sustainably while bringing the inherent warmth and beauty of this material into a wide range of spaces.” 📄 Check out our updated fact sheet and connect with our team. #MassTimber #GreenBuilding #InsuranceInnovation #ConstructionTrends #BuildersRisk
