The Designers Institute (DINZ)

Whether you're a DINZ member or not, we can help develop a professional liability programme for your business.

Professional indemnity

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 risk

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.

Cyber risk

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.
