Architecture & engineering is an $11 billion industry, yet the majority of A&E firms (approximately 87 percent) generate $1.5 million or less in annual revenue. As a record number of closures and layoffs are announced at large firms nationwide, many professional architects and engineers are forming small consultancies or pursuing work as independent consultants. As the number of firms with this small business model has increased, new risks have emerged particular to the field. Architects and engineers often encounter unexpected problems that can lead to major expenses for clients and possible lawsuits–even if the problem occurred at no fault of their own.

As a response to the unique risks these firms face, a specialized insurance program is recommended. Professional liability programs specifically designed for smaller A&E firms can protect beyond a basic errors & omissions policy, and offer customized solutions for this unique segment of the industry.
