“I personally had a background in insurance prior to joining Great American.  When I made the move to the real estate development and construction industry I immediately realized the brokers we were using were not proactive in handling our account, they were strictly transactional intermediaries.  At an industry event a business friend introduced me to Mike and his team.  Following that event Mike and his team took the time to specifically learn our business and determine what our insurance needs were, and more importantly where our exposure was.  They crafted a program to protect our business, they isolated our largest cost drivers (one being uninsured subcontractor losses), helped us tighten our contracts, and educated our staff on how to manage our vendor’s insurance.  Their Risk Rocket System enabled us to run most of our liability losses through the sub’s insurance which kept our own losses low, reducing our insurance renewal costs.  Within three years they delivered a seven figure savings within our cost structure allowing us to focus and grow our business within our core competencies.  We could not have achieved that result without the Met Risk team. They taught us the value of managing risk versus buying insurance only with an eye toward lowering our insurance costs.”

“We could have purchased insurance for our projects at a number of brokerages. We engaged Metropolitan Risk because they had a turn key solution for two of the largest cost drivers in our construction business. By helping us formally manage our subs insurance with their Risk Rocket program AND helping us manage our employee injuries with their Comp Care program our construction firm has saved blood and treasure. This allows us to focus on what we do best which is develop and build. A heartfelt thanks to the Met Risk Team.”

“I met with Metropolitan Risk because I knew I had challenges inside my business and was having trouble finding an effective way to solve them. Our safety procedures were incomplete and inconsistent which showed up in our claims and as a result our experience mod. It increased our costs to the point where it was impossible to ignore. After meeting with Alex and the Met Risk team, it was clear my business could benefit from their expertise. I was optimistic that together we would be able to accomplish all the goals we originally outlined, but didn’t think that we could accomplish so much, so soon. Being in business nearly 30 years, it just seemed too good to be true. Well, in this case it definitely wasn’t.  I’m thrilled with the decision we made to hire them. It’s a decision that has paid for itself 3-4 times over already.”

“I was skeptical that Met Risk would be able to accomplish all the things they originally outlined at our first meeting. But our experience mod was high and our safety policies needed help. Rebar decided to trust their process.  They have far outperformed all of our expectations. The Met Risk staff has the most complete insurance and risk expertise I have come across in the 25 years I have been in business.  They have opened my eyes to the damage you can do to your company due to lack of knowledge in the insurance field. Met Risk has exceeded our expectations.”
