Coverage for the Firms That Measure and Document It.
Structured around how technical and surveying professionals practice, contract, and carry risk.
Technical and surveying professionals produce data that others rely on to make significant decisions. The exposure is professional in nature, tied to the accuracy of the work and how others act on it. Standard programs are often not structured to reflect that.

Built Around Your Discipline
Each discipline links to a dedicated page with coverage considerations specific to how those firms practice and carry risk. All coverage is subject to the terms, conditions, and limitations of the policy as issued.
Land Surveyors
Boundary disputes and errors in technical data can surface years after the original survey.
Residential Builders
Site liability, workers' compensation, and warranty-related exposure alongside professional considerations.
BIM and 3D Scanning
Errors in technical data relied upon throughout design and construction can give rise to claims well after the original engagement.
Geospatial Consultants
Professional liability tied to the accuracy and application of geospatial data.
Drone Mapping Services
Carries both the professional liability of the data produced and the operational liability of unmanned aerial operations.
Commissioning Agents
When a building system underperforms, the commissioning report is often among the first things reviewed.
Building Diagnostics
A diagnostic report relied upon during a property acquisition or that understated a deficiency is among the claim types worth considering.
Worth Understanding
Before You Review Your Program
The most common gap in design professional programs is coverage that does not reflect how the firm actually practices. A professional liability policy that excludes certain project types, GL limits that do not meet contract requirements, a cyber policy with sublimits too low to matter.
These gaps do not surface at renewal. They surface at claim time.
Our Coverage Stack
Coverage Considered Across Every Layer
Coverage structured around your discipline and how your firm operates. All coverage is subject to the terms, conditions, and limitations of the policy as issued.
General & Property Liability (BOP)
Helps respond when someone claims your business caused bodily injury or property damage.
Workers' Compensation
For covered employee injuries tied to work. This can include office injuries, travel-related work injuries, or incidents during job site visits.
Professional Liability
Helps respond when a client alleges your professional services caused a financial loss, project issue, or other damages.
Umbrella Liability
Sits above multiple underlying policies and responds when primary limits are exhausted.
Excess Liability
Extends the limits of a single underlying policy without changing its terms.
Cyber Liability
AEC firms carry more data exposure than most expect. Responds to costs from a covered cyber incident.
The Process
How We Approach It
Step 1
Understand Your Discipline
What you design, how you contract, and where professional liability considerations tend to surface in firms doing similar work.
Step 2
Review What You Have
Existing policies reviewed against your actual operations. Limits, exclusions, retroactive dates, and anything else worth addressing before a recommendation is made.
Step 3
Structure the Right Program
Coverage considered around your discipline and contracts. You will know what each policy is designed to address and what it excludes before anything is placed.

I own a small landscape architecture firm and needed a new policy on a very tight timeline. Avi at Hardcover found a great policy that not only saved me significant money but also improved my coverage. He was responsive, knowledgeable, and very easy to work with throughout the entire process. Highly recommend working with Avi and the Hardcover team.

Hardcover has been excellent! As someone starting on my own, they guided me towards what makes the most sense for me and my business now and what to plan for in the future. They made me more confident in my coverage, but most importantly, more comfortable moving forward.
