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 was tired of getting ripped off for commercial insurance and decided to contact these people who were very quick and efficient and I'm now paying just over half what I was asked to pay for this coming year. It was exactly the cover I wanted and needed. Well done.
