Marsh McLennan Agency (Houston)

The Leverage of a Global Giant

MMA gives Houston contractors a Big Five experience with a localized, entrepreneurial culture. Their Houston desk is deeply embedded in local AGC and industry associations, but they can pull the lever on global markets to place risks that smaller shops can't handle. They specialize in high-complexity environments — energy infrastructure, major industrial builds, and large-scale commercial.

Their national surety practice is a massive asset, helping contractors clean up balance sheets and present a risk profile that underwriters want to back. Beyond P&C, they are a leader in employee benefits for the trades.

The ConstructionPerks Take

We think MMA is best for: Growing Mid-Market GCs and Industrial Firms who need global market leverage and a high-level strategic approach to risk and benefits.

One thing to think about is their breadth. Ensure your day-to-day team is construction-focused rather than a generalist group to get the specific industry insights you need.
