Building Designers Insurance…Sorted.

Like with most professional roles where a level of service and support for clients is involved, there is always a level of risk associated with the work you deliver. The team at CGIB have been working with building designers for years to create tailored insurance packages for:

  • Building designers
  • Service designers
  • Architects
  • Interior designers
  • Town planners
  • Energy raters

And any other types of building designers and consultants.

We understand the insurance needs of building designers

We know designers make up a large portion of the building industry and your needs aren’t always the same as architects and builders. For decades we’ve been assisting building designers to protect their business and reduce risk.

Our experienced insurance brokers understand the finer details of the building design industry and have a great grasp on what your business needs to ensure you are adequately protected. Whether you are a sole trader or head up a larger design business, we’ve got the know-how to give you the peace of mind you need to get on with the job.

Our Professional Indemnity Policies are custom designed to suit the unique needs of building designers. We believe that our Scheme Policy is still one of the only Building Designer Policies that have no Exclusion or Limitations on ‘Cladding Claims’ in Australia.

To help you manage cash flow you have the option to pay your premium monthly. Plus we keep things simple and you can align multiple policies with one anniversary date if you wish.

Alexis Rivers
Caroline at CGIB Insurance is just great to deal with. She’s proactive, knows her stuff, and is always easy to reach.

She really takes the time to understand my business and makes sure everything is clear and properly covered. Feels more like having someone in your corner than dealing with insurance.

Super highly recommend.

Thanks agian =)

Wouldn't go anywhere else! We have been in the building industry for over forty years and have used other companies to handle our insurances and it was a nightmare. CGIB has been responsive, efficient and pleasure to do business with. They have handled our claims in a speedy manner and stayed on top of things, sending ME friendly reminders to help me stay on top of things. We have been with them for what could be over 15 years and highly recommend them.

Our family has been working with Joe and his team for over 15 years and we couldn’t be happier with the service. From day one, they’ve been hardworking, trustworthy, and genuinely committed to looking after our needs. What really sets them apart is how they stay on top of current insurance developments and proactively keep us informed. Joe and his team take the time to understand our situation and always provide clear, honest guidance. They’re not just our insurance brokers—they’re trusted advisors we rely on completely. We can’t recommend CGIB highly enough.
