How we are Different


When it comes to “reducing losses”, what makes the ACIG experience different?

“ACIG’s Mission: Saving lives, preventing injuries, and reducing the overall cost of risk for our Members.”

+ Specificity

The Safety Culture in the ACIG operation is designed by Contractors, monitored by Contractors for the sole benefit of Contractors. ACIG is not a generalist when it comes to construction safety and risk management... all we focus on is Contracting.

+ Experience

Our professional quality consultants all have many years of practical experience developed on a variety of different projects.

+ Structure

The ACIG Claims Department Staff is organized to handle complex construction claims. When a large occurrence happens, a “SWAT Team” comprised of the Member’s key people and ACIG’s key people is immediately dispatched to the accident scene, preserving evidence, establishing strategy and setting up a well thought out action plan to get the best result possible given the facts of the occurrence.

+ Focus

ACIG focuses its Members on the importance of risk transfer and contract document administration. ACIG believes that its team of risk management consultants are knowledgeable about indemnity provisions and insurance requirements.

What else does ACIG “bring to the table” for our company in addition to the reduction of losses described above?

Having a stable market, and benefiting from group purchasing power are key strategic goals for our Members.

1. Initial Capital Contribution
2. Underwriting Profit
a. Earned in retro subject layer on your business
b. Allocation of underwriting profit earned on risk layer pooled with all contractors
3. Investment Income

All of ACIG’s resources are focused on maximizing your results in categories Two, Three and Four outlined above.
