The right insurance program helps protect your business when your professional work is challenged.

Design errors

The risk engineers face everyday:

Project delays

Property damage

Client disputes

	Site accident risk for construction businesses
	Materials theft and loss risk on building sites
Contract liability risk for builders
Subcontractor risk exposure in construction projects
Storm and fire damage risk to building sites

Errors or omissions in engineering designs, calculations or specifications can result in costly claims and project changes.

Engineering advice or recommendations that contribute to a client's financial loss can lead to professional liability claims.

An error in design, inspection or professional services may contribute to damage to buildings, infrastructure or other property.

Disagreements over designs, reports, specifications or professional services can lead to complaints, legal costs and claims.

Design changes, errors or unexpected issues can delay construction projects and create additional costs.
