Quantity Surveyors Insurance UK

Quantity surveyors insurance is designed for QS practices, cost consultants and construction cost advisers whose estimates, valuations, procurement advice, contract administration and reporting can influence major project decisions. Professional indemnity is usually the core cover, supported by public liability, cyber, office and equipment protection where required.

Typical Quantity Surveyor Risks

Claims can involve alleged cost estimate errors, valuation disputes, missed variations, tender advice issues, incorrect final accounts, procurement mistakes, contract administration allegations, project delay disputes, confidentiality breaches, cyber incidents or client financial-loss claims.

Professional Indemnity for QS Work

Professional indemnity can help where a client alleges your quantity surveying advice or cost consultancy work caused financial loss. Insurers will usually want to understand your services, project types, contract values, client sectors, appointment terms, professional body status, quality controls and previous claims history.

Construction Sites, Contracts and Project Data

Quantity surveyors often work with tender packs, bills of quantities, valuations, contract documents, site progress information and commercially sensitive project data. Tell insurers whether you provide contract administration, employer's agent work, procurement advice, dispute support, valuations or project management, because these details can affect cover and limits.
