The Construction Industry

Your profession is tightly regulated by the law as far as both insurance and surety are concerned. We are by your side providing advice to make it easier for you to do your job and help you conquer new markets.

This goal is uppermost in the minds of our ultra specialised teams.

When we were giving thought as to what contribution Bessé could make to the construction business, we consulted and listened to a great number of operators so as to have a good grasp of their expectations.

We identified two key areas:

The need for advice when it comes to designing insurance solutions and for assistance when a loss arises.
High expectations in terms of new technology so that applying insurance to the construction value chain can be made simpler.

Our involvement at your side rests on these two pillars.
