As architects it is likely you will work with an array of valuable properties and materials.
Unfortunately, this means that you could be left particularly exposed should anything go wrong. Whether you are carrying out restoration work, interior design, or managing new builds, accidents can happen at any stage of any project.
Professional indemnity insurance (also known as PI insurance) protects you against this risk, and allows you to get on with your next job without having to worry about previous work. Protecting your architect business in the event that you impart incorrect advice, lose vital documents or breach confidentiality agreements, PI insurance is essential for most architects in the UK.
While professional indemnity cover may not be a legal requirement for all architects, when bidding for a contract, most companies will prefer an architect that has this in place. If you would like protection for work completed in the past, you can specify a retroactive date to ensure that you are completely covered for that period.
