You can save up to 30% when you buy engineer or architect small business insurance with Next. The exact amount you pay will depend on:
Business insurance offers you protection from a wide range of unexpected events and accidents, from an error in your plans to a collision involving your work vehicle.
As an engineer or architect, you’re almost always required to have insurance to work on client projects. With the right coverage, you can do your work and focus on the job knowing that you have the protection you need from project risks.
Get Instant QuoteEngineer and architect liability insurance can help cover costs if you find yourself in the unfortunate situation of being accused of causing an injury or damaging property, or if someone says that your work mistake caused financial losses.
We combine two types of liability insurance in our business insurance packages:
General liability is the basis of solid insurance coverage for architects and engineers. Given how much time you spend on property that doesn’t belong to you, it’s probably not hard to imagine that at some point you could cause or be blamed for damaging building materials at a construction site or breaking a piece of machinery in a manufacturing facility.
Professional liability insurance (also known as errors and omissions), covers you for cases where you are accused of not having done your job properly, whether that’s true or not. If you make a mistake in your plans that causes a financial loss, you could be faced with a lawsuit. Your coverage can help pay for costs to defend your business or fix the problem.
Get Instant QuoteLiability insurance covers some of the most common construction accidents. You may also want to add other types of coverage to your insurance package to protect your business from other types of incidents.
We typically recommend:
In the construction trade, workplace injuries happen more frequently than you might think. Workers’ comp makes those situations easier by helping to pay for medical bills for injuries and illnesses that happen to you or your employees while on the job. Workers’ comp can also help to cover lost wages while recuperating from tripping over scaffolding and breaking your ankle.
This coverage is required for businesses with employees in every state except Texas.

You’ll need commercial auto insurance in most states to cover any work vehicles that are titled to your business. Even if you drive your own truck to job sites, it probably won’t be covered under your personal car insurance.

Tools and equipment insurance can be added to your general liability insurance to help cover the cost of repairing or replacing your gear, whether it’s ladders or jackhammers.

We keep it simple and straightforward so you can find the coverage that’s right for you within a few minutes. When you start a quote for insurance, we’ll ask you a few basic questions about your business, including: the kind of services you provide, the location of your office or where you plan to work, how many people you employ and how much you pay them and the number and type of vehicles you use for work.
