Understanding Decennial Liability Insurance (DLI)

DLI is more than another insurance product
it supports long-term protection for serious inherent defects
it connects insurance with stronger quality assurance during design and construction
it encourages earlier identification of issues before they become major defects
it brings proactive and reactive protection closer together

Technical Inspection Services (TIS) provide independent oversight during the project lifecycle
the role is not to replace builders, designers or certifiers
the purpose is to strengthen quality assurance at key stages
stronger oversight can improve confidence in building quality outcomes
DLI works best when design, construction and oversight are better connected
