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.

I have been dealing with CGIB and Caroline in particular for a very long time now, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Their service is always extremely helpful, proactive, and prompt. It is rare to find this level of consistent reliability over the long term.
Thank you, Caroline, and everyone at CGIB.

I have been found Caroline from CGIB has been highly professional and responsive for all my PI needs especially when amendments are required. I have recommended Caroline and CGIB to many consultants in my network.

I have had PI insurance through CGIB for many years. Caroline has always looked after me and no question was left unanswered. Very quick turnaround each year which was easy and painless. Never felt the need to look elsewhere. Thanks for looking after me for over 20 years

Honestly, Aleisha was an absolute lifesaver. I needed to get an urgent $20M public liability policy sorted for our self-managed Owners Corporation so my lawyer could finalize a Section 32 for a property sale. Strata paperwork is usually a total nightmare, but Aleisha made it so easy and stress-free. She actually listened, worked fast, and got it done properly. Can’t recommend her enough!

Sarah Liakopoulos at CGIB has been a pleasure to deal with while setting up insurance for my new business. She arranged single transit marine cover for our first import shipment. When I needed public and products liability ahead of our launch, she had a quote to me the next morning and bound the policy the same day. Clear, prompt and easy to work with. Thanks also to Emma for stepping in while Sarah was away. Highly recommended.
