Architects

QBE PI provides professional indemnity cover for every size of architects’ practice, from the biggest and best-known international firms to organisations employing fewer than ten people. Our 30 years’ experience in this sector gives us an unrivalled understanding of the particular needs of the profession. As a result, our wordings directly respond to the challenges that the industry faces.

During the quotation process, we perform extensive research to ensure that the insurance product is the right fit for the client. We understand that value for money is always an important consideration but that it should not be delivered at the expense of adequacy of coverage or service standards. As with many challenges in commerce, the better the preparation, the better the result. Our architects’ insurance products ensure that our clients are prepared for the challenges ahead.

Ultimately, our clients want to know that their claims will be handled fairly and efficiently. QBE PI has an established claims team with a vast claims management experience both in the UK and Internationally. Working in close liaison with underwriters, the QBE PI claims team has defended some of the largest, most complex and commercially sensitive claims in the architects’ profession.

A unique feature of our service is our quality assurance based risk management initiative. Working closely with the RIBA, we are seeking to harmonise our QA processes with the new RIBA CPD curriculum that includes risk management as a compulsory element. CPD points are achieved through the completion of our self-assessment QA questionnaire or our on-site training. In addition to the accrual of CPD points, our QA process represents a highly effective means to assist even the smallest practices to implement an appropriate quality management system.
