Claims against architects can arise from design, documentation, consultant coordination, contract administration and other professional services.

Examples of allegations can include:

• Errors in drawings or specifications
• Design errors or omissions
• Incorrect material specifications
• Failure to coordinate consultants
• Inadequate site observations
• Contract administration errors
• Documentation delays
• Approval-related issues
• Cost estimate allegations
• Failure to follow client instructions
• Water ingress
• Fire-safety design issues
• Other building defects
• Disputes about the architect’s scope of services

An architect can become involved in a claim alongside engineers, builders, consultants and other project participants even before responsibility has been determined.

Professional Indemnity Insurance may respond to certain claims arising from insured architectural services.

Other policies can be relevant where an incident involves:

• Personal injury
• Property damage
• Cyber incidents
• Physical damage to construction works

If you become aware of an error, complaint, demand or circumstance that could develop into a claim, notify Webber Insurance promptly.
