What other insurance should a Land Surveyor consider?
AI Doc Summarizer Doc Summary

Professional Indemnity Insurance addresses professional liability exposures, but a Land Surveying business can have a much broader range of risks.

Public Liability Insurance #

Land Surveyors commonly work away from their office and can attend:

  • Construction sites.
  • Residential properties.
  • Commercial sites.
  • Roads and infrastructure projects.
  • Rural properties.

Public Liability Insurance can respond to certain claims involving third-party personal injury or property damage connected with these activities.

Surveying equipment #

Surveying businesses can own expensive portable equipment.

Cover may be required for equipment such as:

  • Total stations.
  • GNSS equipment.
  • Laser scanners.
  • Field computers.
  • Tablets and laptops.
  • Other surveying instruments.

The policy should be checked for theft, accidental damage and use away from the business premises.

Commercial Motor Insurance #

Vehicles used to travel between sites should be appropriately insured for their actual business use.

Cyber Insurance #

Surveyors can hold:

  • Client information.
  • Project drawings.
  • Property data.
  • Contracts.
  • Financial information.
  • Business records.

Cyber Insurance can address certain costs and liabilities arising from cyber incidents and data breaches.

Other insurance #

Depending on the business, further cover may include:

  • Business Insurance.
  • Management Liability Insurance.
  • Corporate Travel Insurance.
  • Drone Insurance.
  • Commercial Legal Expenses Insurance.

The appropriate mix depends on the way the Land Surveying practice operates.
