Ace Overseas General yesterday announced the formation of a new international construction practice group to address the world's growing regional commercial construction and infrastructure activity.

Ace International Construction aligns new and existing capabilities in construction underwriting with the retail distribution platforms of regional and global broking operations.

The insurance and reinsurance company, which is headquartered in Bermuda, draws on resources from the Ace Technical Risks unit, based in London, to offer a broad range of insurance lines for private and public sector construction risks.
