It is also important for Building Inspectors to consider Public Liability Insurance. 

Public Liability Insurance is intended to provide cover to you and/or your business for bodily injury or property damage caused to a third party, as a result of an occurrence in connection with your business activities. Public Liability Insurance will also pay for defence and legal costs in connection with such claims. 

As a Building Inspector, consider your liability risk when you visit sites or homes, as there is a chance that you may cause damage or bodily injury whilst undertaking your inspections. For example, whilst undertaking an inspection you accidentally drop a tool that causes damage to your customer’s property. 

Public Liability is generally available for Building Inspectors to be taken as an extension with Professional Indemnity Insurance.
