About The Society

 

Land Professionals Mutual Society Incorporated (LPMS) is a voluntary Risk Management organisation representing the interests of  Land Surveyors, Valuers and Quantity Surveyors in New Zealand.

LPMS has arranged group professional liability insurances for members since August 1976. Originally membership was restricted to consulting and land surveying practices but was expanded in 1983 to include valuers in public practice.

In 1985 membership was extended to kindred professions involving professional practices who provide consulting services in clerk of works, in engineering, farm management, forestry, planning, property and quantity surveying.

What We Do:


The principal objectives of LPMS are:

  • Guiding members on the ways and means of avoiding or minimizing  liability claims and risk management.
  • Providing members with supportive claims assistance and administration including quality technical, legal and insurance assistance.
  • Offering members access to specifically tailored group professional indemnity and other liability insurance facilities on a voluntary basis.

LPMS members are continually updated with information on risk minimization skills and loss prevention techniques. LPMS arranges seminars and periodically issues information to members in newsletters.
 

Professional Indemnity (PI) insurance for liability or professional negligence is arranged through a group scheme tailored to the specific needs of its members. A Claims Committee assists members faced with an actual or potential claim.


The Policy is updated annually as the industry goes through changes.
