Professional indemnity insurance for UK architects

Apex Insurance Brokers places ARB Minimum Terms-compliant professional indemnity cover for UK architects — sole practitioners, small practices, and larger architectural firms. Every quote is reviewed by a named broker who reads the brief carefully before placing the cover.

What we arrange for architects

Standard practice PI on a civil-liability basis. Single-project PI for JCT and NEC appointments where the contract requires it. Retroactive cover where claims history allows. Six-year run-off cover for architects closing practice or retiring.

When to talk to us

Approaching renewal. Switching broker after a hard-market quote. Dealing with a claims history that needs to be presented carefully to underwriters. Taking on a JCT or NEC appointment that needs wording review before signing. Arranging run-off on retirement. Any of these — talk to us before the deadline.
