Insights from the 2025 Annual PLI Survey
Every year, the AIA Trust joins ACEC and NSPE to take the pulse of the professional liability market—and this year’s findings reveal a landscape that’s both competitive and evolving. Carriers describe a stable but softening market with strong capacity and more favorable terms, yet persistent challenges remain: social inflation, climate-driven design demands, workforce shortages, and the complexities of design-build and P3 delivery.
Emerging discussions also explored how AI is reshaping risk and standard-of-care expectations—a topic of growing importance for architects.
Stay tuned for our comprehensive analysis in the Q1 2026 newsletter, where we’ll unpack these trends, carrier insights, and what they mean for your firm’s coverage, contracts, and risk-management strategies.
