Design and Construct Insurance

If you are a supplier or contractor responsible for both design and construction delivery within a single project, you have additional insurance requirements compared to where you are responsible for a straightforward construction project. BJP can advise you on the appropriate design and construct insurance cover, as well as source it for you.

What is Design and Construct Insurance?

In a design and construct insurance policy, you have the potential benefit of having a range of risks relating to different aspects of the whole project covered on a single policy. With the increasing popularity of a single supplier approach, it could be that you have developed your own, in house design capability for projects, or subcontract that element out to a specialist.

While this has clear potential advantages to you as a business, it will probably require insurance that covers you for the professional advice that you give – something not typically found within a standard construction contract.

A design and construct insurance policy protects you and your business both financially (from the costs of defending any claim, as well as any payouts that are deemed to be due) as well as in terms of your relationship with your client.

Design and Construct Professional Indemnity Insurance

Commissioning clients will typically insist that you have professional indemnity in place these days. Even if they don’t, where there is a design and specification element to the project, professional indemnity cover is likely to be strongly advisable. It protects you from claims of professional negligence pertaining to the services you deliver.

Even if you subcontract out key facets of the work – for example some architects’ drawings, you should not rely on your subcontractors insurance to pay out in the event of design errors. You would be accountable to your commissioning customer and could face significant costs if there were a problem.

Unlike a standard professional indemnity policy, a design and construct insurance policy also insures you to supply goods and carry out the work.
