Professional Indemnity Insurance is one of the main covers architectural practices need to consider because it addresses claims arising from professional services, advice and design work.

Requirements can also arise from registration arrangements, contracts and professional obligations.

What other insurance can be relevant? #

Depending on the practice, this can include:

• Public Liability Insurance
• Cyber Insurance
• Business Insurance
• Management Liability Insurance
• Commercial Motor Insurance
• Workers Compensation where applicable

Architectural practices involved in construction, installation or broader design and construct activities can require different underwriting or a Design and Construct Professional Indemnity structure.

Contract Works Insurance and other construction-related policies may also need to be considered depending on the activities undertaken.

The appropriate insurance depends on:

• Professional services
• Project types
• Contractual responsibilities
• Employees
• Business structure
• Client requirements
• Construction involvement
• Jurisdictions in which the practice works
