Insurance for Land Surveyors

Why do Land Surveyors need insurance?

A day in the life of a surveyor could involve anything from conducting site inspections, certifying plans to providing advice on construction and issuing building permits. Providing professional advice or services as a surveyor means there’s the potential risk for a disappointed client to make a claim against you for the advice or services you have provided. Before you utter your words of advice, consider protecting your surveyor business with Business Insurance.
