Pricing Design Deficiency Claims: Keys to Success

Presented by:
Peter Vosbikian, GREYHAWK

Preparing a successful design calls for a unique combination of scientific and technical expertise, and accomplishing it in a perfect manner is difficult, if not impossible. As such, it is common for construction projects to experience changes to the work resulting from professional design deficiencies. The liability for such claims resulting from design deficiencies generally is aimed against the designer on the basis that it failed to satisfy its contractual obligation to provide a design that met the expectations and requirements of the owner. This presentation provides some valuable insight into and considerations on pricing and apportioning the costs associated with design defects, as well as addressing sample contract provisions and reviewing examples of how to calculate an assessment against an A/E.
