Frequently asked questions about architect business insurance

  • Errors and Mistakes
  • Omissions

  • Missed deadlines
  • Negligence

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.

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.
