Yes. If your business is involved in both the design and construction or implementation of landscape works, then you may require a Design & Construct (D&C) Professional Indemnity policy instead of a standard Professional Indemnity policy.Â
A Design & Construct policy is tailored for businesses that:Â
- Provide landscape design services and also manage or perform the physical landscaping worksÂ
- Subcontract the construction of their designs to third partiesÂ
- Take on contractual responsibility for both the design and the final delivered resultÂ
- Provide landscape project management or construction supervision with input into the build itselfÂ
Standard Professional Indemnity policies typically exclude physical works or site-based activity. If you undertake or oversee the construction component of your projects, and something goes wrong (e.g. the landscape fails due to design or execution issues), you could be exposed to claims that are not covered under a standard PI policy.Â
