Claims against a negligent architect

Most of us only encounter architects when we are building or extending a property, residential or commercial. We rely on their expertise in relation to the construction work, the planning and design, the obtaining of planning permission and the supervision and administration of the overall works. Like other professionals, architects owe a duty of care when undertaking the work. If they make a mistake and are negligent, this may give rise to a loss to you which means you could have a claim for professional negligence against them. In addition, they are members of a professional body, Architects Registration Board (ARD).

Examples of  architect negligence

  • Failing to properly prepare plans and specifications.

  • Failing to obtain planning permission.

  • Failing to properly supervise the works on site.

  • Approving and certifying works which are not at the requisite standard.

  • Failing to ensure the works correspond to the drawings/plans and specifications.

  • Approving and certifying works which do not correspond to the drawings/plans and specifications.

These are just a few of the more common types. Each case will turn on its own facts.
