The insured was retained to provide surveying and staking services in connection with the construction of a gas station  and convenience store, which included a canopy over the gas pumps. During construction, it became apparent that the  insured staked the canopy columns incorrectly, resulting in an additional six feet of space between the canopy and the  convenience store building. This gap exceeded the dimensions allowed by the gas station branding and building  requirements. This required additional curbing being poured to meet the gas station requirements. The insured reported  the matter on September 9, 2024 as a Design Error Circumstance and request for Rectification Expense. Repairs were  made and an executed release agreement was obtained from the project owner. The insured paid the Rectification  Expense directly, then submitted proof of payment on November 4, 2024. The reimbursement check was issued to the  insured the same day.
