Axis International
The Axis organisation was established in 1996 formed by a group of like-minded individuals whose stated aim was to provide a first class loss adjusting service, allied to technical competence and meticulous attention to detail.
From these small beginnings a first rate company has steadily evolved, which now enjoys one of the strongest brand reputations amongst its peers. As an organisation we have never sought work we could not properly service, either by skill or size.

We have considerable knowledge of construction and erection risks that are written on various Forms of Contract, for example:

Axis also have experience of less commonly encountered forms, such as the ICE Form for Engineering Works and the GC Works 1 Form for Government Contracts. We have surveyors, engineers and adjusters with extensive experience of construction work worldwide. In addition, we have adjusters qualified in law and able to deal with the complexities of liability issues that can arise in respect of contractual or third party claims.
Our philosophy is that a well-managed construction project involves a healthy rapport with the construction team, preferably before a claim arises. This enables all key members to understand their roles in ensuring that claims are notified and investigated in a timely manner. It also means potential DSU issues are considered at an early stage.
