Business insurance

Insurance for Consulting Engineers

For a consulting engineering practice, professional indemnity is the cornerstone of cover. Your designs, calculations and certifications carry liability that can surface years after a project finishes, and most contracts will not proceed without adequate PI. Add public liability for site visits and client meetings, business contents cover for your office and equipment, cyber cover for the project data you hold, and workers' compensation for your staff. With many policies renewing around 30 June, review your cover and limits before the new financial year.

Common questions

Consulting Engineers — insurance questions

How much professional indemnity does an engineer need?

It depends on the scale of projects and what your contracts require, but limits often run into the millions for structural and civil work. Because a design failure can carry major consequences, review your PI limit against your largest project exposure each year.

Does PI cover claims after a project is finished?

Most PI policies work on a claims-made basis, so the cover in force when a claim is made matters, not when the work was done. That is why maintaining continuous cover and run-off cover is important in this profession.
