Landscape Architecture practices can provide a wide range of professional services. The Professional Indemnity policy should accurately describe the activities disclosed to and accepted by the insurer.

Which services can be considered? #

Depending on the insurer, these may include:

• Landscape architecture and design.
• Master planning and urban design.
• Planting and public realm design.
• Documentation and specification.
• Contract administration.
• Site inspections.
• Related professional consulting.

Webber Insurance can also assist eligible Landscape Designers. The occupation title is less important than accurately describing the services performed.

What about project management? #

Project management, construction coordination or broader consulting can change the exposure. Tell Webber Insurance before commencing materially different services.

What if construction work is provided? #

A business accepting responsibility for both professional services and construction or installation may require Design and Construct Professional Indemnity, Contract Works and appropriate liability insurance.

Why does the description matter? #

Professional Indemnity Insurance is arranged around the accepted activities. Services performed through related entities, subcontractors or another business name should also be disclosed.

An accurate description helps reduce the risk of a mismatch between the work undertaken and the insured professional services.
