The construction sector is currently susceptible to insolvency. This is due to an almost perfect storm of issues such as debts accrued over the years, repayments of COVID-19 loans, changes in taxation rules, inflationary pressures, increased labour costs, lack of working capital, falling cash flows and 'suicide bidding' to win work. We may also, once again, see an increase in speculative claims being 'shoe-horned' into professional liability policies and greater use of the Third Parties (Rights Against Insurers) Act 2010. That said, we will need to wait and see how the government will react, especially with its intention to meet huge new housing targets, the continued de-carbonisation of the energy sector and its plans around infrastructure. Whether the government will re-introduce a form of Private Finance Initiatives to achieve these aims remains to be seen – but this perfect storm will not be solved without real intervention.
