Engineering and surveying firms carry professional liability (errors & omissions) as their primary exposure — from design errors and specification failures to survey boundary disputes and staking errors — alongside the general liability and property risks of professional office operations.

Engineering services (SIC 8711) and surveying services (SIC 8713) are our carrier classes. We work with specialty professional liability markets to place engineering E&O coverage alongside general liability, commercial property for office and field equipment, inland marine for survey instruments and field equipment, and workers comp. We serve engineering and surveying firms across Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Nevada, Arkansas, South Dakota, Pennsylvania, Texas, Indiana, and California.

Unique Risks & Coverage Considerations

Engineering firms face E&O claims for design errors, specification failures, and construction oversight failures. Survey firms face boundary dispute and staking error liability. Both disciplines carry significant professional liability exposure that requires specialty market placement.

As an independent broker, we shop the entire commercial market — including specialty and surplus lines carriers that write difficult-to-place risks. Our carrier markets rates many of these classes as Preferred, meaning consistent underwriting capacity and competitive pricing.
