We're proud to announce a landmark partnership with Aviva Risk Management Solutions (ARMS). A move that will help businesses across the construction and property sectors meet the demands of the updated Joint Code of Practice on the Prevention and Management of Escape of Water on Construction Sites and Buildings Undergoing Renovation (JCoP).
The new JCoP plays a vital role in reducing the frequency and severity of water damage incidents, which remain a leading cause of loss and disruption on construction sites and occupied buildings alike.

Smarter, Safer, More Sustainable
With Aviva’s deep understanding of risk management and our award-winning smart water technology, we’re delivering a comprehensive solution for real-time leak prevention and sustainable water control. Our systems offer:
💧 Immediate alerts and automatic shut-off to prevent major leaks
🧠 Intelligent insights to monitor and manage water systems remotely
💰 Exclusive preferential rates for Aviva customers, making it easier to adopt
Businesses will also gain access to our dedicated water management app, providing centralised oversight of property portfolios and instant notifications in the event of a leak - helping to reduce downtime, avoid costly damage, and remain compliant with best practice.
Why It Matters
Adhering to the latest JCoP isn’t just about ticking a box, it’s about future-proofing your property. The impact of water damage can be catastrophic, with major implications for insurance claims, project timelines, and client trust. By acting now, businesses can gain a competitive advantage while supporting environmental and operational goals.
As our CEO, Dan Simmons, explains:
“The new JCoP is a critical focus for mitigating the rising cost of Escape of Water claims in the UK. By partnering with Aviva, we can provide businesses with the tools and support they need to not only meet these new standards but also achieve significant savings and environmental benefits.

Simon Hemingway, Escape of Water Technical Specialist at Aviva, shared:
“Escape of water incidents during the construction phase, in completed structures and in occupied properties are a frequent and often costly cause of loss. These incidents lead to considerable business interruption, clean-up costs and project delays, causing significant disruption to our customers.
“Quensus understands Aviva’s diligent approach to escape of water risk management, and we’re pleased to welcome them on board as a Specialist Partner to complement our in-house expertise. Their technical solutions can help our customers safeguard their assets from potential water damage, mitigating future financial losses and minimising business disruption.”

As the updated JCoP standards gain traction, our joint solution positions customers ahead of the curve, ensuring they're not only protected against immediate risks but also building resilience for the future.
