Design Professionals & Consultants in Alaska

---

Architects, engineers, land surveyors, and consultants sell judgment. When that judgment is questioned, whether over a design flaw, a missed code requirement, or advice a client did not like, a general liability policy will not respond. Business Insurance Associates builds insurance programs for design professionals and consultants across Alaska, where permafrost, seismic activity, and extreme climate add real weight to every site analysis and design decision.

Coverage for Design Professionals and Consultants

Professional services carry a different risk profile than most businesses. Depending on your practice, your policy may include:

• Professional liability or errors and omissions coverage for claims over your advice or designs
• General liability insurance for client and visitor injuries at your office
• Cyber liability coverage for client data and design files
• Commercial property insurance for your office, equipment, and records
• Workers' compensation for employees and field staff
• Business auto coverage for site visits and inspections

Firms that own their office space should also review our commercial property insurance options.

Designing for Alaska's Ground Conditions

A design that ignores permafrost, seismic activity, or Alaska's building code requirements can fail in ways a lower 48 project never would, and the liability for that failure often lands on the designer or consultant who signed off on the work. We help firms carry professional liability limits that reflect the scale of the projects they take on, not a generic policy built for a different climate.
