Ideal Accounts and Appetite
This program is focused on design professionals with annual billings under $7.5 million. Caitlin Morgan has a broad appetite across typical A&E classes, including:
- Architects
- Draftsmen
- Interior designers
- Landscape architects
- Land surveyors
- Civil, mechanical, structural, and electrical engineers
- Agency construction managers (excluding project design and at-risk construction managers)
Examples you might place here: a small architecture firm expanding into commercial work, or a land surveyor bidding on public infrastructure projects. Firms with more complex, at-risk construction management or very large billings typically exceed this program's target appetite.

Underwriting Notes and Minimum Premiums
Minimum premium guidance: $1,250 for a $1M limit for most eligible classes. Structural engineers carry a higher minimum premium (starting at $7,500 for a $1M limit) due to elevated exposure. Underwriters evaluate project mix, past claims history, firm size and contract language—so provide complete firm profiles, recent loss runs, and sample contract terms when submitting.

This A&E program is available in all 50 states and Washington, D.C., with admitted paper offered where applicable. Agents nationwide can place qualified accounts with confidence in territory availability and regulatory compliance.
