What it asks
The questions underwriters ask, in plain English.
Each one comes with a line saying why it's asked, so your client answers fully the first time.
- 1Which of these services do you provide? Tick all that apply.Each service carries a different risk. Contaminated land and remediation work cost the most to insure.
- 2Do you advise on asbestos or materials containing asbestos?Asbestos and pollution claims are often excluded unless the work is declared.
- 3Do you design or specify pollution control or reduction equipment?Designing equipment is a different risk from giving advice.
- 4Do your contracts always exclude liability for consequential or indirect loss, such as a client's lost profits?Lost profits and delay costs can far exceed the cost of fixing a design error.
- 5Is your quality or risk management system certified to ISO 9001 or another external standard?External certification shows insurers your controls are checked by someone else.
- 6Is anyone in the firm aware of a mistake, complaint or situation that could lead to a claim?Anything known before cover starts is excluded unless declared now.

Minimum cover
What sets the limit
We know of no regulator that sets a minimum professional indemnity limit for environmental consultants in Australia. Check any licence or membership the business holds.
- Your clients and their contracts
- No regulator sets a minimum professional indemnity limit for environmental consultants. The limit usually comes from client contracts, tenders, government panels and framework agreements, so check what each one asks for.
A summary, not advice. Check your client's contracts before setting a limit.

Before you ask
Questions about the environmental consultants fact finder.
- Is the environmental consultants' fact finder really free?
- Yes. Answer it on the page as your client would, and download it as a fillable PDF with your logo, with no login and no email. Sending it to a client as a link comes with a free 14-day trial.
- How does it fill the insurers' forms?
- Each question is linked to the same question on the environmental and design forms in the Coverbound Form Library. Starting an insurer's form puts your client's answers in, and they confirm them instead of typing them again. The rest of each form, mostly tables of projects, principals and past claims, they answer there.
- Which insurers' forms does it fill?
- Environmental consultants' and design professional indemnity proposal forms from Arch, DUAL, Pen and Vero. The page shows how much of each one it fills.
- Can my client fill in the PDF instead of answering online?
- Yes. It's a real fillable PDF they can type into in any PDF reader. When they send it back, upload it to your account and the answers are read straight in.
Ask once. Fill every form.
