Risk Advice Insurance
Long Burroughs is The Designers Institute (DINZ) risk and insurance partner.
We advise on specialist liability insurance for architectural designers across New Zealand, reflecting the unique risks faced by the profession. We bring the same specialist approach to the construction sector, helping builders, contractors and developers understand their exposures and put the right protection in place. As advisers and business owners ourselves, we know what it takes to keep a project, and a business, moving.
Whether you're a DINZ member or not, we can help develop a professional liability programme for your business.
For any designer providing professional advice for a fee, appropriate Professional Indemnity Insurance is an essential risk management tool. We help structure your policy to suit your requirements and provide expert guidance and support when you need to make a claim.
Construction projects involve a lot of moving parts: people, plant, materials, subcontractors and tight timeframes. We help builders, contractors and developers see where their exposures sit and structure cover around them. That includes contract works, public and statutory liability, and plant and equipment. If you design as well as build, we'll make sure your professional liability is covered too. When something goes wrong on site, we're in your corner to get the project back on track.
Technology helps designers and builders work more efficiently, but it also brings risks such as ransomware, payment redirection fraud and data breaches. Cyber Risk Insurance can be included in your broader cyber risk management strategy.
