Do architects who give advice to community groups, churches, schools etc on a pro bono basis need insurance cover?
Regardless of whether a professional person provides advice at no charge, or for an exchange of services or other benefit – they still have the same duty of care to their client and are exposed to the same liabilities and can be sued for negligence. Architects in this situation should seek advice from an insurance broker.
