Housing challenges and risk management: Verlingue at the ANCE Brescia 2026 Assembly

Housing affordability, innovation and risk management at the centre of the discussion between businesses and institutions

Access to housing has become an economic, social and industrial challenge. A topic that increasingly involves sustainability, investment, governance and innovation. Against this backdrop, Verlingue took part as Gold Sponsor of the ANCE Brescia 2026 Assembly, focused on the theme “Living. Housing as a social asset and infrastructure”. Hosted at Eseb, the Assembly brought together institutions, companies and construction industry stakeholders to discuss the housing crisis and the need for long-term structural policies. In his opening speech, ANCE Brescia President Massimo Angelo Deldossi described housing as “a national systemic issue”, highlighting the strategic importance of cooperation between the public and private sectors. Economist Carlo Cottarelli also addressed the audience, stressing how rising property costs and growing barriers to home access require sustainable solutions and more effective governance models. This evolving landscape is also reshaping the role of construction companies, which are now required to manage increasing operational, environmental and regulatory complexity. As a result, risk management is becoming a key strategic factor throughout the entire project lifecycle. Verlingue supports construction businesses with dedicated insurance and risk management solutions, including:- Third-party and employers’ liability insurance- Contractors’ All Risks (CAR) and Post-Completion Decennial Liability cover- All Risks cover for site equipment and machinery- Surety bonds and guarantees- Environmental liability insurance- Business travel insurance solutions- Fleet insurance programmesDigital transformation, sustainability and changing housing needs are redefining the construction sector. In this context, risk management plays a central role in supporting businesses and local communities in building more resilient and sustainable development models.
