Persistent global inflation, supply-chain volatility and unprecedented swings in construction material availability continue to reshape risk profiles for major capital projects. As steel, concrete, copper, timber and specialty components experience pricing surges and delivery bottlenecks, project budgets, schedules and contingency plans are under intense pressure. These disruptions create greater exposure to cost escalation, schedule overrun, DSU/ALOP losses, design changes and contractual disputes — all of which challenge traditional insurance programs, risk transfer mechanisms and claims defensibility.

This presentation will explore how inflation and materials scarcity are transforming the insurance landscape for large and multinational construction projects. Attendees will gain insight into how insurers view inflationary risk, how to recalibrate risk transfer strategies and what tools project owners and contractors can deploy to mitigate volatility.
