Why do you need Civil Engineers Insurance?
You work in a challenging and complex profession. You may be involved in the detailed initial stages of huge engineering projects. Or you could be working in hazardous conditions: at height, in tunnel excavations or in proximity to dangerous materials. Your job could require intricate and precise specifications for complicated projects. Or you could be involved in mechanical or electrical engineering or soil & foundations work. All of those situations carry risks, from the legal implications of planning errors to the possibility of physical injury to a third party. You need to be protected from financial exposure in those, and many other, situations, whether you work in front of a computer screen or in an exposed and unsafe environment. At Construction Insure we specialise in insurance for Civil Engineers and the high-risk aspects of it, at the most competitive premiums.
A small error in the initial planning stages of a project could have serious repercussions at a later stage. Professional Indemnity, or โdesign & constructionโ, will cover you in the event of a design fault or an omission. It will also protect you if you gave negligent advice or failed to give the necessary advice. Professional Indemnity is vital to protect you from the potentially disastrous financial implications of a lawsuit arising from errors, omissions or faulty workmanship. Potential claims against you can range from a failure to seek planning permission, preparing an inaccurate survey report or failure to specify the correct construction materials. Professional Indemnity will protect you up to ยฃ10 million.
