Frequently Asked Questions

A structural engineering company should have an insurance policy in place to manage the risks faced daily. Due to the nature of this work and the heavy involvement throughout the design and construction process, the policy will often include employers liability, public liability, professional indemnity insurance and any other relevant insurance products which may protect the business against claims from a third party. 

Working with a specialist insurance broker with experience in insuring companies within the structural engineering industry is a great way to ensure your business has adequate insurance. They will take the time to understand your businesses operations and work with you to create a tailored policy that will offer complete protection for a wide range of risks that the business is exposed to

Here in the United Kingdom, the only type of business insurance that is mandatory under the law is employers liability. This is a form of cover which offers protection against the personal injury of their employees. For any company that is employing a member of staff whether it be freelance, part-time or full time, you must take out this form of cover. 

The additional insurance products that you often hear associated with the structural engineering industry are recommended extras. As far as the law goes, employers liability is the one that is required at all times. This being said, it’s still highly recommended to have other insurance products, especially when working within the construction industry as this will help prevent the business from costly claims.

Cyber risk insurance is often the last type of cover that someone will associate with the construction industry. With a large proportion of the work being done out on a site, there are plenty of other insurance products which seem to be more relevant for this industry. This being said, the recent shift to digital over the past 10 years has led to a huge increase in cyber risk, therefore, making it important to have adequate cover in place at all times. 

Cyber insurance offers businesses protection against a range of security risks including data breaches, hacking and the exposure of sensitive data. We now live in a day and age where our databases store valuable information and without a suitable cover in place, a hack can lead to substantial claims which your business may be left to cover the costs.

Professional Indemnity insurance otherwise known as PI insurance offers protection against professional advice offered by your business. As a structural engineer, you are often helping to guide the design of a structure and advising other members of the design team on which decisions have to be made to give the structure sufficient stability. If this advice was perceived to be incorrect your business is vulnerable to claims. 

Professional Indemnity insurance will provide a layer of protection against your business from these types of claims. Structural Engineers are open to a number of exposures around the advice and design work you undertake professional indemnity will provide protection for insured events if a client perceives this to be incorrect and proceeds to try and claim against your business.
