Abstract: Although the supervision system has been adopted in the construction industry for more than 10 years in China, a professional liability insurance system for the supervision engineer has yet to be established. The implementation of a professional liability insurance for the supervision engineer in China is suggested. The range of issues cover the professional liabilities and typical professional faults of the supervision engineer, the scope of the insurance liability, exclusions, insurance types and the assured. The three premium-rating methods are presented. A five-thrust implementation strategy for professional liability insurance for the supervision engineer is offered in order to overcome the main obstacles. The data applied for the analysis in the study were collected from a comprehensive questionnaire survey to the Shenzhen-based supervision firms. Selected interviews were conducted to supplement the survey data. This study provides a valuable reference for further research in examining project supervision practices in other construction industries.
