As an architect, 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 a 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 insurance for most architects in the UK.

While professional indemnity insurance 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. And if you would like protection for work completed in the past, you can specify a retroactive date to ensure that you’re completely covered for that period.

• Flexible limits of professional indemnity cover - Up to £5 million of cover available for architects.
• Retroactive cover - Cover available for works completed within the last two years with your professional indemnity insurance policy.
• Claims service - Superb, fast and efficient claims service. Read our claims charter for architects.
• Loss of documents - Our professional indemnity insurance policy will protect you in this instance.
• Separate Business Support Package - We can provide an optional Business Support Package, which includes benefits such as legal support.
