Professional Indemnity for Design & Construct
Design & Construct (D&C) Professional Indemnity is typically for instances when a construction company takes on contractual responsibility for the professional services (e.g., design, specification, technical advice) in addition to construction and installation activities. The professional services may be performed in-house or outsourced to professional consultants (e.g., architects, engineers, surveyors). This 'one stop shop' approach does away with the need for the client to have to personally appoint all the necessary professionals.
Given the above, the construction company becomes liable for any claims arising out of damage, loss or injury incurred as a result of a breach of these professional services. D&C insurance is a specialised professional indemnity coverage designed to protect the insured from these liabilities. DUAL’s professional indemnity insurance provides a comprehensive solution to mitigate professional liability risks associated with the design and construction process.
