CLIENTS WE SERVE

ARCHITECTS

Chadwick empowers architects, from freelancers to renowned firms, with specialized insights for protection and growth. Spanning projects – rural homes to global venues – we cover diverse insurance needs, embracing unique requests efficiently and economically.

ENGINEERS

Chadwick’s professionals have over 75 years of combined experience providing insurance and risk management solutions to professional engineers – from startups to many of the region’s top firms.

INTERIOR DESIGNERS

Interior designers face distinct, misunderstood insurance challenges. They also need coverage for loaned artwork and custom furnishings. Chadwick offers essential liability, umbrella, workers’ comp, and professional liability insurance.

SURVEYORS

Surveyors need unique insurance due to vehicle use. Business owner’s policies must update for equipment changes, cover tools, business interruption, and losses. Architects/engineers with surveyors often miss these needs insurance agents overlook.

CONTRACTORS

In construction, general contractors in places like New York face insurance challenges due to accidents. Many grapple with risks from inadequate coverage, narrow policies, and exclusions ignoring likely claims. Chadwick aids by defining subcontractor insurance needs and reviewing policies to reduce risk.

SPECIALTY CONSULTANTS

Diverse businesses like at-risk CMs, PMs, acoustical consultants, and others often need help with insurance categorization issues, leading to coverage gaps and high premiums. Chadwick specializes in addressing these concerns, providing tailored and accurate policies that rectify past errors.

Chadwick is one of the few dozen independent agencies in the U.S. focused exclusively on design professionals.

Kendra is extremely knowledgeable in her role within Chadwick Brokerage. Our operation is comprised of 3 companies, and she does a fantastic job servicing each of the companies’ needs. Even more importantly, if we have an insurance-related question or situation, Kendra will do her best to resolve it and if she cannot, she always knows the right resource within Chadwick to get us a timely and accurate solution. It is a pleasure to work with Kendra and the entire Chadwick team.

Jay M. Gewirtzman

Prior to signing any contracts, we do a risk review of the contract language. Eli Harvey, Principal of Chadwick Brokerage, assists us in this review. He makes recommendations on revising language so that our firm is not exposed to significant contractual risks. On many occasions, due to Eli’s comments, our clients have revised the language in our contract to lower the risk to our firm, which in the long run saves us significant sums of time and money.

Scott M. Chasse

Keith has served as our commercial insurance broker and risk management consultant since 2010.  He manages all of our commercial policies and is always responsive to our day to day needs.  His strengths in addressing our contract-related inquires in a prompt and efficient manner is what sets him apart from other brokers.  While his title may be broker, due to his high-level of professionalism and moral character, I also consider him to be a friend.  I would have no hesitation personally recommending both Keith and Chadwick to any A/E Firms seeking an insurance representative.

I have been working with Rich for almost 20 years.  The professional and timely manner in which he and his staff respond to my inquiries is one of the intangibles that most firms lack.  He is very knowledgeable of A/E industry practices and the marketplace we operate in.  I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone who asks.
