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 Architects, Engineers, and Construction (AEC) 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 AEC firms operate, deliver projects, and manage risks.
We’ve been so successful, that now we’re looking to grow our team!
