A Malaysian professional covered by Professional Indemnity for Architects
⚠️ Your Exposure

Why architects can't practise without it.

Your drawings and certifications carry legal weight. When something goes wrong on site, the liability often lands on you.

🖊️

Design & Specification Errors

A miscalculated load, a wrong spec or a missed detail can lead to expensive rework and a negligence claim from the client or contractor.

📐

Boundary & Dimension Disputes

A measurement or setting-out error that affects a build can leave you liable for the full cost of putting it right.

⏱️

Project Delays

Late drawings or a delayed certification that holds up a project can trigger a claim for the client's financial loss.

💬

Client Disputes & Complaints

Even an unfounded complaint costs time and legal fees to defend. Professional Indemnity covers your defence either way.

📄

Lost Drawings & Documents

Losing or damaging project documents can mean funding their reconstruction. Your cover picks up that cost.

🏗️

Sub-Consultant Fallout

When a structural or M&E input you relied on fails, the claim can still be pointed at the lead architect. Cover keeps you protected.

📁 Real Scenarios

Claims architects actually face.

These aren't rare. A single one, unprotected, can cost more than years of contribution.

  1. Design flaw found mid-construction: A detail is wrong on site and the client demands you fund the rework and delay.
  2. Dimensional error on drawings: A structure is built that doesn't match the approved plans, and the fix falls on you.
  3. Delayed certification: A late CCC or sign-off pushes back handover, and the client claims for lost rental or sales.
  4. Alleged budget overrun: A former client says your advice caused a cost blowout and threatens legal action.
  5. Boundary encroachment: A setting-out error puts part of a build over the line, triggering a costly neighbour dispute.

? FAQ

Architect PI, answered.

The questions architects ask us most about Professional Indemnity cover.

01 Is PI insurance mandatory for architects in Malaysia?
Many practices and larger project tenders require it, and it's strongly recommended for any architect carrying client liability. We'll advise the right limit for your work and any tender requirements.
02 How much cover does an architect need?
It depends on your project sizes and turnover. Solo practitioners often start at RM 250,000, while firms handling larger developments may need RM 1,000,000 or more. We'll size it with you.
03 Does it cover claims from past projects?
With retroactive cover, yes. Claims can arise years after a project completes. We can arrange cover that responds to work you've already delivered.
04 How fast can I get covered?
Most architects are protected the same day. Share a few details, get a tailored quote, accept and pay, and your certificate lands in your inbox straight away.
05 What if a complaint is unfounded?
Even baseless complaints cost time and legal fees. Your cover pays your legal defence costs regardless of whether the claim ultimately succeeds.
06 Can I cover my whole firm under one policy?
Yes. Our Premier plan offers multi-partner and firm-wide cover, so every architect in the practice is protected under one arrangement.
