Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover the benefits of effective risk management practices Risk management may not be a standard course in architecture school, but it is an essential concern for architects and related professionals working today. Managing Project Risk is a key resource for integrating good risk management into professional practice. Based on a popular series of articles in AIArchitect, this accessible volume offers an on-the-ground perspective of what can happen on the job and what architects can do to prevent or mitigate threatening conditions and events. With an engaging, non-legalistic style, authors Atkins and Simpson draw upon their considerable experience and upon AIA Contract Documents to show how sound risk management strategies work in a variety of real-world settings, covering such practical areas as: * Risk management fundamentals * Contracts * Relationships with clients * Understanding the architect's role in the project * Risk issues with digital drawings * The modern architectural workplace Rendering potentially dry topics lively with wit and anecdote, Managing Project Risk resonates with the experience of contemporary architects, while offering helpful suggestions applicable not only to risk management but also to project management and professional development.

Download or read book Practice Management for Design Professionals written by John Philip Bachner and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 1991-09-03 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the mid-1960s geotechnical engineers paid the highest liability insurance of any profession and by 1969 were virtually uninsurable. As a result, the ASFE was founded and helped these engineers not only lower their insurance rates, but get to the point where, by 1980, they were the least liability-prone members of the design profession. Now, John Bachner and the ASFE tell all other design professionals how to accomplish the same task. This book, which incorporates the ASFE's Introduction to Professional Practice program for advancing architects' and engineers' knowledge of professional practice issues, addresses almost every aspect of the design professionals' practice as they relate to liability, from procedures for verifying the accuracy of technical output to steps for improving client and project selection, workscope development, personnel training and dispute resolution.

Download or read book Architect and Engineer Liability written by Kevin Sido and published by Aspen Publishers. This book was released on 2020-09-21 with total page 1968 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Architect and Engineer Liability: Claims Against Design Professionals, Fifth Edition, details all relevant topics relating to liability claims: risk management, alternative dispute resolution, trial conduct, handling shop drawings, insurance and surety, and more. Prepared for design and construction professionals and their attorneys, this comprehensive, up-to-date resource is written by eminent authorities in the field and provides straightforward answers to all your legal questions, as well as examples of the valuable lessons learned by leading design and construction experts. The Fifth Edition adds significant new and revised material on a number of critical topics, as well as expanded discussion and analyses of the latest court decisions, trends, and issues in the rapidly evolving area of construction law, including the following: Explanation for the American Institute of Architect's (AIA's new and revised forms: Construction Manager as Adviser (B132(TM)-2019); Construction Manager as Constructor (B133(TM)-2019); and Standard Form Multi-Party Agreement for Integrated Project Delivery (AIA C191-2019). Which of an architect's commercial general liability policies apply is dependent upon whether there is damage during the respective policy period. And if there is damage over several policy periods, the issue becomes whether the limits and the self-insured retentions/deductibles "stack." Whether an engineer was protected by the application of the economic loss doctrine can be determined by whether the owner's damage claims were economic losses. The New Hampshire Supreme Court in 2019 held that indemnity and contribution claims against a design professional could be barred by the New Hampshire statute of repose as purely economic losses. The 2019 AIA updates to the Construction Manager as Constructor (CMc) documents include a new standard of care that requires the construction manager to "exercise reasonable care in performing its Preconstruction Services"; and contain insurance requirements for the CMc during the preconstruction phase that match the insurance requirements for the architect. Effective August 1, 2019, a North Carolina law provides critical protections for design professionals when faced with the question of whether they owed a duty to defend the owner of a project. A New York City mayor's discretionary conduct in refusing to take the steps necessary to authorize a construction project (i.e., inaction) was shielded by legislative immunity. A provision of the standard form A201 General Conditions incorporated into a contract further defined the term "architect" to include the authorized representatives of the listed architect in the contract which permitted a principal, as a representative of the architectural firm, among those persons able to demand arbitration under the terms of the contract. Under Indiana law, construction managers owe a duty for job-site employee safety in two circumstances: when the construction manager has contractually assumed a duty for job-site safety or when the construction manager voluntarily assumed a duty for job-site safety.

Download or read book Avoiding Claims in Building Design written by Malcolm Taylor and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-04-15 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The chance of being claimed against is now a major risk factor for every building designer, engineer, quantity surveyor and project manager. Apart from the cases that go to court, many other claims are settled before they reach that stage. The cost of insurance to meet claims is now a substantial component of every practice's overheads. Sensible risk management can identify the potential sources of claims, reduce their likelihood, warn of impending trouble and control how the claim is to be defended. This book explains how to plan a risk management strategy and suggests techniques that can supplement the practice's existing management procedures without imposing unnecessary bureaucracy. It attaches as much importance to the interaction of risk between members of the design team as to the risk profile of the practice itself. The first part defines risk and its origins, discusses how risk can arise in the various professions and types of practice, and how it interacts between the professions, compares quality assurance with risk management, and advises on the relations between the practice, its insurers and its lawyers. It concludes with advice on how to create a risk strategy and system for the office. The second part is devoted to techniques and covers: setting up the appointment; creation of the team; managing the project; the risks of CDM; the complications of procurement; and drafting, awarding and administering the building contract. Risk implications of the major contract forms are discussed in detail. It concludes with advice on the handling of claims. The book contains references to a number of legal cases to illustrate the risks discussed. It is recommended reading not only for the individual professions (architect, engineer, QS, project manger), but for all of them collectively in understanding how the risk of one profession can become the risk of any of his fellow team members.

Book excerpt: Liability for the design of a building or structure is of fundamental concern to construction professionals, design-build contractors, specialist sub-contractors, and lawyers. Although other texts cover a wide range of aspects of liability, only Cornes and Lupton’s Design Liability in Construction draws together all those matters that relate specifically to design. A number of factors have come together recently and are addressed in this significant update and rewrite of the 4th edition, including: popularity of design & build procurement partnering arrangements and early contractor involvement new standard forms of construction contract and appointment, and revisions to older forms technical innovations in construction collaborative working and BIM systems many well-publicised cases regarding design failures significant developments in the law of tort and professional liability the development of the single European market and increased provision of services overseas Together these factors create a new range of design liability issues which the construction professional has to face. Written for lawyers, architects, engineers, and contractors, the fifth edition of Design Liability in Construction will also serve as a useful text for masters level courses in engineering, surveying and construction law.
