Customized Construction Insurance Plans

Construction and infrastructure are fundamental to the development of our society. Without infrastructure, we would be left without a community. No single product is identical; as such, we can provide you with more comprehensive protection by creating a customized coverage solution that meets your unique needs.

Since January 2016, Kono Insurance has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of Zurich, bringing together the expertise in underwriting discipline, claim competence and a robust range of insurance propositions. Kono is a separate legal entity from Zurich, and is therefore responsible for the policy obligations of these insurance solutions.
