Architect Insurance | Professional Indemnity Insurance for Architectural Practices
Architectural practices face a range of professional, financial and operational risks. From professional negligence claims and errors or omissions to increasingly complex fire safety and cladding exposures, having appropriate insurance in place is an important consideration for architects.
At Konsileo, we are independent insurance brokers with wide market access. We work with a range of insurers to help architectural practices find insurance solutions suited to their individual requirements, projects and risk profile.
Professional Indemnity Insurance (PII) is a key consideration for architectural practices. It can help protect your business against claims arising from professional negligence, errors or omissions and can help architects meet relevant insurance requirements and professional standards.
Every architectural practice is different. The type and level of cover required can depend on factors such as the nature of your architectural services, the projects you undertake, your contractual requirements and the risks associated with your work.
Konsileo takes the time to understand your practice and the work you undertake before approaching the insurance market.
Fire safety and cladding cover has proved particularly challenging for architects in recent years.
We can access insurers offering wider fire safety cover, helping us explore options where these exposures are relevant to an architectural practice.

The availability, scope and terms of insurance will depend on the individual circumstances of your practice and the policy arranged.
