Design / Build Professional Liability Insurance Coverage
Design/Build Professional Liability Insurance (also known as Design / Build Errors & Omissions Insurance, or Design / Build Firm E&O) protects designer / builders if a client alleges that you were professionally negligent or failed to perform professional duties, or in the case of the failure of your work to perform as promised in your contract.
Design / Build Firm Professional Liability Insurance Protects Your Business
The high cost of a legal defense could put your design/build services firm out of business. Your company's survival and your personal financial security depend upon protecting yourself against the impact of a lawsuit.
Almost any firm or individual that improperly performs services can cause a client to suffer an economic loss - and mounting a defense is expensive. The impact of even a baseless claim can be devastating. Would your company have the resources and expertise to defend against such a claim? Worse, could you pay restitution if you're found at fault?

An Errors & Omissions Policy helps protect the valued relationships you have developed by protecting both your client and your own financial security.
Mistakes Happen. As a designer/builder, you know even a small mistake can have serious consequences. Even the most skilled professionals are likely to make an error at some point. From catastrophic equipment failures to human oversights that result in personal injury, many incidents can result in a lawsuit.
You Can't Be All Places At Once. As your design / build firm becomes more successful, you may not be able to personally handle every aspect of each job. Errors & Omissions coverage insures not only your mistakes, but also the mistakes of the employees and independent contractors you hire. Request a Quote
Some of your clients may require that you and your subcontractors carry Errors & Omissions insurance. The right kind of E&O policy can protect both the design / build firm and subcontractors from claims of a perceived error or omission, even if the problem occurs months after the initial job.

What Is Covered by Design / Build Services Errors and Omissions Insurance?
Design / Build Professional Liability Insurance includes legal defense costs - no matter how baseless the allegations. It will pay for any resulting judgments against you, including court costs, up to the coverage limits on your policy.
Doesn't My General Liability Insurance Provide the Same Protection?
Errors and Omissions insurance coverage is not provided by a
Commercial General Liability policy. Commercial General Liability does NOT provide coverage for errors, contract performance disputes or any other Professional Liability issues. Designer / Builders who have General Liability without Professional Liability (Errors & Omissions) coverage are taking a serious risk. It's like a doctor practicing medicine without Malpractice Insurance.
