Construction and Infrastructure

For around 40 years, SOCOTEC Claims has specialized in damage assessment in the areas of buildings and building installations, civil engineering and non-residential construction projects, inventory/contents, business interruption, liability, environment, heavy equipment, and transport-related claims (carrier liability and goods).

Within the Construction & Infrastructure department, Socotec Claims has specialists in the fields of construction, civil engineering, agriculture, energy, the environment, mechanical engineering/shipbuilding/machine construction, electrical engineering, petrochemicals, cables and pipes, motor vehicle liability, and professional liability.
Our expert specialists handle technical damage claims, including claims on miscellaneous and liability insurance policies. 

Variable insurance is a collective term for various types of commercial and personal liability insurance and technical insurance, such as Construction All Risk (CAR) insurance, environmental damage insurance (MSV), machinery breakdown insurance, and legal expenses insurance.

In the event of claims on variable or liability insurance, we investigate the actual circumstances, extent, and consequences of the damage and summarize the results in a clear report. Our clients are usually provincial, national, or international insurers, but we can also act as a party expert or legal expert.

Every year, our experts are called in to assist with more than 350 Dispute Resolution cases. For disputes arising from civil engineering and construction projects, building operation, electrical and mechanical systems, soil remediation, and environmental issues, the most important pillars are technology, practical application, and regulations.  The unique combination of our knowledge of technology, regulations, and construction practices is indispensable for your cases and makes all the difference!
We provide Dispute Resolutions to legal expenses insurers, law firms, courts, government bodies (national, provincial, and municipal), water boards, project developers, and (construction) companies.
