Frequently Asked Questions
Who is Design and Engineering Practitioners Professional Indemnity Insurance designed for?
This cover is designed for white-collar, design-led engineering, architectural and surveying businesses. It targets practitioners whose work is primarily office-based and focused on professional design and advisory services, rather than construction, trade or manual activities.
What types of risks are not covered under this product?
Design and Engineering Practitioners Professional Indemnity does not cover blue collar, trade-based, construction or Design and Construct (D&C) activities. Manufacturing, fabrication, installation and physical works exposures are also outside the product’s risk appetite.
Can brokers still access underwriting support for more complex risks?
Yes. While eligible risks may be processed efficiently through the online portal, submissions that fall outside automatic acceptance can be referred directly to Vero’s specialist Design and Engineering Practitioners underwriting team for review and support.
