Professional Indemnity Insurance is designed to protect Building Designers against claims arising from their professional services or advice. If a client suffers a financial loss due to an error, omission, or alleged negligence in your work, this type of insurance can provide the required protection.

Types of issues that arise, where Professional Indemnity Insurance can provide protection include: 

• Errors or omissions in design drawings or documentation
• Non-compliance with building codes or planning requirements
• Inaccurate site assessments or measurements
• Misinterpretation of client instructions 
• Delays in project documentation leading to cost blowouts 
• Allegations of negligence or breach of professional duty 

Even when claims are ultimately dismissed, defending them can involve significant legal costs. Professional Indemnity Insurance not only helps cover damages or settlements but also provides support for legal expenses, investigations, and expert witness fees.
