Swingle Collins and Associates has a specifically designed insurance program for architects and engineers. Our Architect and Engineer insurance coverage is comprehensive coverage that can meet or exceed an architect’s or engineer’s professional liability insurance needs. What’s more, because most architects and engineers are probably not bondable and don’t have product inventory like manufacturers or retailers, a professional liability insurance policy is likely to be their largest asset. The policy for architects and engineers itself will generally serve as a prerequisite to be considered for more desirable contracts, projects or clients. This means that such coverage, in addition to providing exceptional liability protection itself, is in fact a competitive advantage for architects and engineering firms!
Backed by decades of experience Swingle Collins and Associates has designed protection for Dallas architects and engineers. Our program offers unparalleled coverage assessment and personalized attention through a team of expert risk managers, experienced underwriters and meticulous claims professionals for architects and engineers. With the stakes and risks so high, professional liability insurance is absolutely necessary for architects and engineers today. And since the professional liability insurance expense will probably be second only to payroll, all architects and engineering companies want to be sure to get the most for their money. Give us the opportunity to demonstrate how we can help, and we think you’ll agree there’s no better way to protect your firm and no better partner than Swingle Collins and Associates for architectural and engineering firms.
