Insurance Cover from Design to Construction

The recent increase in the prevalence of design and build jobs has led to building and engineering contractors becoming increasingly exposed to design liability. This is often because they have in-house design services or because they subcontract the design element of a project but still have contingent exposure.

This type of professional indemnity insurance is intended for designers, consultants and subcontractors involved in all different aspects of designing and constructing a project. It is more and more common for clients to insist that everyone involved in a contract carries their own insurance cover, even if a contractor is doing little or no design work.

Tip #1

Check the design, make sure it works. Failure to do so could lead to problems.

Tip #2

Even if a contractor has no design or professional supervisory responsibility, they may have a duty to warn the client if they become aware of a design defect.
