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.

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.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reducing professional liability risk is a subject that is continually being discussed in the medical, legal, and insurance professions as well as the design profession. Since no profession has successfully shifted or limited its risk, it is now recognized that the only sure method of reducing professional liability risk is through improved services. This report examines many of the liability issues facing the design profession today, then discusses how to perform services in such a manner that the associated liability risks are reduced. First, the duties of the design professional are outlined, which is followed by an examination of design services contracts, design phase services, and construction phase services. This report concludes with a discussion on resolution of disputes and professional liability insurance. Since all of the issues discussed are applicable to both architects and engineers, the suggestions in this report can be implemented throughout the design profession. (Author).
