Greyling Insurance Brokerage & Risk Consulting, a division of EPIC, is a specialty insurance brokerage and risk consulting firm focused on construction and design professionals. What differentiates us is our construction industry expertise. Our leaders have prior experience as practicing construction lawyers (in-house and outside), engineers, consultants, and underwriters – giving us a unique and unmatched insight into how A/E firms operate, deliver projects, and manage risks. With respect to insurance, we place many of our largest clients who qualify in highly profitable group captive programs that have saved millions, and we do so for more A/E firms than all other insurance brokers combined.

We’ve been so successful, that now we’re looking to grow our team!
