Frequently asked questions about architect business insurance

Here are some of the most common questions we get about business insurance for architects.

What does architects insurance cover?

Professional Liability or Errors and Omissions insurance for architects covers a range of liability claims, including:

  • Errors and Mistakes
  • Omissions
  • Undelivered services
  • Missed deadlines
  • Negligence
  • Breach of contract

This form of coverage is an important way for architects to help protect themselves professionally. Professional Liability/Errors and Omissions insurance pays for the legal costs associated with an above claim, up to the limits of liability, so you’re not left to pay them from your own financial accounts.

Why do architect firms need business insurance?

Architecture firms often take out different types of business insurance, including Professional Liability (also known as Errors and Omissions) insurance, to help protect themselves and their employees.

Architects regularly use their expert knowledge and skill to give clients advice that is used to make important decisions. If this advice results in a financial loss for a client, the firm itself could be found responsible. A firm may decide that Professional Liability insurance is necessary to cover their architects as they carry out work for the firm.

Architecture firms may also take out other forms of business insurance to help shield them against common risks to their business. This may include Workers’ Compensation, General Liability, or a Business Owner’s Policy. These coverages can protect against events such as workplace injuries, damage to client property, and business interruption, along with many others.

What type of business insurance do architects need?

Professional Liability or Errors and Omissions insurance is just one type of policy that architects commonly consider. Other forms of coverage may be necessary to help fully shield you from on-the-job risks that architects often face.

Other types of insurance that architects consider include:

General Liability – This type of policy can protect you against third-party claims regarding injury or damage to their property. Your policy will cover the legal expenses and cost to replace or remedy the situation up to the limits of liability in these instances.

Business Owner’s Policy – This is a combination of policies, that help protect small businesses from costly interruptions to service. A BOP commonly combines General Liability insurance and business personal property coverage into one convenient policy.

Workers’ Compensation – These policies shield your business against medical expenses and lawsuits resulting from employee workplace injuries and serious illnesses. Workers’ Compensation insurance typically also pays lost wages as a result of the employee’s work injuries.

I have been shopping for business liability insurance for several months. I am happy to share that BizInsure ranked #1! The representatives were polite, patient, and empathetic. They accomplished what most companies struggle with achieving: they did what they said they were going to do, they were on time, and they had empathy. They delivered a policy for 25% less than the closest competetor, and even included $50k of cyber security at no additional cost! I only write reviews when I receive exceptional experiences- highly revommended; keep up the great service BizInsure!P.S. I own a professional referral service in Hawai'i and I am going to see if BizInsure offers an affiliate program.Aloha!

I had numerous conversations with several business insurance agents over a month's time. I also had several conversations confirming the policy inclusion/exclusions and asked many questions. My BizInsure agent was professional, knowledgeable and most important—detail oriented. Even after having an initial conversation a month earlier he knew and *remembered* all my personal/professional insurance needs. When I asked for additional information on the third call he was able to provide me with details very quickly. He was also VERY patient. That is a big plus in my opinion. It illustrated a high level of respect for my needs. I also found when I called back and asked to talk with the initial agent, the person who answered the call was able to get in contact quickly and my agent responded and returned the call within 5-10 minutes. The transaction was smooth, and I think it's a good sign should I ever need to make a claim. I highly recommend BizInsure.

The customer service provided by Jose was outstanding. He explained everything in a very clear/logical way and answered all of my questions. After providing all the information to obtain general liability insurance, Jose sent me the declaration page of the insurance for review. All of the information matched what I provided over the phone and there were no typos. The next day I called back to purchase the insurance which was easy and fast. Overall, my experience with BizInsure including the customer service by Jose exceeded my expectations.
