LAND SURVEYORS PROFESSIONAL LIABILITY ELIGIBILITY

(July 2024)

Land Surveyors Professional Liability Insurance is not offered via the standard market. Insurers that provide this coverage have substantial knowledge, resources, and experience in profitably underwriting the surveying field.

This coverage can be written as a stand-alone coverage or as an additional professional coverage provided to a business that offers a variety of contracting services.

Examples: Local Land Surveyor is a sole proprietorship providing only land surveying services. Kelly Engineering provides professional land surveying as a service to its clients. Bingley Architects has an in-house land surveying department because it wants to control all aspects of its bidding process. The service is part of every bid. Roger works for Kelly Engineering, but he has worked in the past for other companies and wants to carry his own professional coverage.

Some carriers may be interested in this coverage only as an adjunct to other professional coverage while others may be interested in it only as a stand-alone coverage. There are select markets interested in the individual employed surveyor. Eligibility considerations generally focus upon loss history, the individual or firm’s amount of experience and nature of projects performed.
