This program tells the tale of four claims. Each will be presented by a Berkley DP claims examiner who will set the stage by describing the project type, delivery method, and parties involved, followed by the problems that arose and technical factors that led to the claim. The resolution and lessons learned for each case will be revealed, including the impact of the design professionals’ errors and omissions on the project and its owners/users. These valuable insights will help participants examine and improve their business practices and project controls to avoid similar situations.
