Geopolitical instability, including conflict and policy changes, has overtaken supply chain disruption as the dominant risk for global construction firms, causing 31% of clients to reconsider or relocate projects. Brokers face a live opportunity to address shifting risks like political violence and trade credit, especially as over half of firms consider self-insurance due to gaps in current coverage.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Construction Tech. Wire is Fusion42's founder-focused intelligence feed: each story is connected to the funds and startups it names — every one with a live profile on Raise or Scout — so founders can follow the capital and the momentum behind the headline rather than just the headline itself. Wire analysis is one of the live surfaces Arthur reasons over.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Brokers must act now to plug gaps in construction risk coverage as clients shift projects and increase self-insurance due to geopolitical threats. If you cover construction risk, updating your offerings this week could protect your book from client churn and open new placement discussions.
