CAD / Drafting Firms

Full List of Surveying & Technical

CAD and drafting firms translate complex engineering and architectural concepts into technical drawings and blueprints. Because these drawings serve as the "instruction manual" for construction, CAD / Drafting insurance is designed to address the professional risks of technical inaccuracies and documentation errors, subject to the terms, conditions, exclusions, and limitations of the policy issued.

1. Professional Liability & Drawing Errors

Coverage is structured to address claims arising from alleged errors in dimensions, scales, or annotations within a set of plans. If a contractor follows a drafting firm’s technical drawing and installs components incorrectly due to a clerical or scaling error, this coverage addresses the resulting costs of rework.

Drafting firms must accurately reflect the engineer's intent and industry standards. Polic

2. Standard of Care & Technical Specifications

Consultants often move data between different software platforms. Policies may address professional negligence claims if data is lost, corrupted, or misinterpreted during translation, resulting in construction delays or inaccurate material take-offs.

3. General Liability & Physical Data Storage

While much work is digital, some firms maintain physical archives or large-scale plotting equipment. General Liability provides protection for third-party bodily injury occurring at the firm’s office, as well as property damage if a client's physical original documents are lost or destroyed while in the firm's care.

4. Cyber Liability & Digital Deliverables

Most drafting work is delivered via electronic file transfer or BIM portals. Coverage placement considers the risk of transmitting corrupted files, the accidental deletion of a client's project database, or unauthorized access to sensitive proprietary designs during the drafting process.
