Risk management isn't about managing risk. It's about managing opportunity.

How Steel Framing & Insurability Are Saving Palisades Rebuilding | Matt McRoskey

In this episode of Risk Management: Brick by Brick, host Jason Reichl sits down with Matthew McRoskey, Head of Growth at Builders Workshop. Matthew shares insights from his 15+ years in institutional real estate capital allocation and developments, framing a critical conversation on how innovative building methods and pre-construction processes are solving post-disaster rebuilding crises. Discover how Builders Workshop's "Reset" program leverages cold-formed steel framing structures to eliminate fire risks, earning guaranteed insurance policies and upfront 60% premium discounts. Matthew breaks down the trilemma facing disaster-affected homeowners—speed, insurance coverage gaps, and long-term insurability—and explains why shifting from traditional residential waterfall approaches to intensive commercial-style pre-construction eliminates delays and cost overruns. From architecturally significant designs built on efficient four-foot grids to expanding steel framing manufacturing across risk-prone regions, this episode offers an indispensable roadmap for homebuilders, risk managers, and insurers navigating modern natural disaster recovery.
