Since most claims arise during the construction phase, architects and engineers can improve their risk posture by being aware of potential perils and managing services to the best advantage during construction. This session explores risks that can arise during construction. Suggestions will be provided based on actual project experience to guard against and hopefully avoid possible pitfalls. Case studies are included for each topic presented. Architects and engineers should not miss this mission critical discussion.
Participants will:
- Be able to recognize potential areas of risk with CCA services
- Learn critical documentation required to substantiate the delivery of CCA services
- Discuss steps to take when owners delete or amend A/E services
- Review areas of risk exposure that can arise with owner’s separate consultants
