Professional errors
The risk builders face everyday:
Client disputes
Property damage
Legal expenses
An error, omission or oversight in your professional services can result in costly claims or disputes.
Failure to identify or address a relevant requirement can expose your business to financial and legal consequences.
A professional error may contribute to damage to a building or other property, creating significant financial exposure.
Defending a professional claim can involve substantial legal and investigation costs, even when you have done nothing wrong.
Disagreements over advice, reports, inspections or certification decisions can lead to complaints and claims.
Compliance issues
What the law requires of property developers:
1. Professional Registration
2. Professional Indemnity
3. Professional Responsibilities
Registration and licensing requirements vary by state and territory and depend on the type of surveying or certification services you provide.
Professional indemnity insurance may be required as part of registration or licensing, depending on your profession and jurisdiction.
Certifiers and surveyors must comply with the professional, regulatory and registration requirements that apply to their work.
