What is a Principal Controlled Insurance Program (PCIP)?

Principal Controlled Insurance is a relatively simple and cost-effective way for Principals to manage the insurable risks of their construction projects. This includes:

• Renovations
• Extensions
• Capital Works
• Property purchases

By taking control of the key project insurances, you obtain greater benefits to traditional methods of procuring insurances for projects

Principals and owners of construction projects often mistakenly assume the contract they have entered into with construction contractors and designers, will fully protect them against all of the risks of the project.

The reality is that regardless of the delivery or contract model utilised, many of the project risks will be
retained or shared by the Principal and as such, it is important that the Principal takes an active role in identifying and managing the various project risks.
