Engineering & Architecture Insurance FAQs
Why do Texas engineering contracts require both GL and Professional Liability?
GL covers bodily injury on a jobsite visit (e.g., tripping a subcontractor); Professional Liability covers errors in stamped drawings, specs, and calculations.
How long can an engineer be sued in Texas for a design defect?
Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code §16.008 sets a 10-year Statute of Repose (8 years for certain government projects) from substantial completion.
Are LiDAR scanners and survey drones covered under an office BOP?
BOPs cap off-premises equipment; scheduling survey instruments and drones on an Inland Marine Floater ensures full field coverage.
Does A&E E&O cover a contractor's delay claim?
Yes, economic loss and delay claims resulting from negligent design omissions are core A&E E&O triggers.
