Central Accountability

Construction managers sit at the centre of project delivery. You're accountable for program, cost, quality, and risk, even when issues originate with contractors, designers, or external factors. When projects fail, the CM is often named in claims.

Complex Disputes

Construction disputes typically involve multiple parties - architects, engineers, contractors, and managers. Even when you're not primarily at fault, defending your position requires significant legal resources. PI insurance funds that defence.

WHY TANK INSURANCE

01

Project Delivery Expertise

We work with insurers experienced in construction project delivery - the contract structures, the stakeholder relationships, and the types of claims that arise from major projects.

02

Appropriate Limits

Your exposure relates to project scale, not just your fees. We help you select limits that reflect the value of projects you manage and the potential claim values when things go wrong.

03

Contract Compliance

Major project contracts specify PI requirements. Your policy should meet contractual minimums and provide certificates of currency for each project engagement.

04

Multi-Party Claims

Construction disputes often involve multiple defendants. We help you understand your position relative to other project participants and navigate complex claims.

PROFESSIONAL RISKS

Contract interpretation advice causing disputes
Progress certification errors affecting payments

QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

Construction management PI insurance covers claims arising from your professional services in managing construction projects - programming, contract administration, cost control, quality management, and risk coordination. If your management decisions or advice lead to project failures, PI insurance can help protect you from client claims.
Yes, fundamentally. Construction managers provide professional advisory and management services - they don't physically build. Your exposure is for professional negligence in advice and management, not construction defects or workmanship. You need PI insurance, while contractors need Public Liability and contractor cover.
Program delays and cost overruns are the most common claims. When projects run late or over budget, clients often allege the construction manager failed to adequately supervise, coordinate, or manage the project. Even if the causes are complex, the CM is frequently included in claims.
Cover in the range of $2M-$20M is common, depending on project size and complexity. Large-scale developments, infrastructure projects, and major commercial works may require higher limits. Your client contracts usually specify minimum Professional Indemnity requirements that reflect project value.
PI insurance primarily covers claims from your client - the project owner or developer. However, claims can arise from various project participants who allege your management failures caused them loss. The policy generally covers your professional liability regardless of who brings the claim, subject to policy terms and conditions.
