Andy Mendelson, executive vice president and chief risk management officer, will co-present alongside David Ericksen on a WTW A&E webinar, “Pre-Construction Services – Cure or Curse?”, on Monday, December 11.

Third-party review and comment on any design professional’s work product can be uncomfortable. It exposes the design to critique, second guessing and “alternative” views. However, it can also validate and improve the design before any deficiencies lead to economic harm and consequences.

Drawn from real-life cases in the media and courts, this program will highlight the potential risk and risk management opportunities emerging from third-party pre-construction design review by other design professionals, contractors and construction managers. In addition, it will offer corresponding strategies to help you successfully engage in those processes as the designer or the reviewer.
