Pricing Design Deficiency Claims:
Keys to Success Recorded on May 21, 2015
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 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. Attend this information-packed, 90-minute program to: - Identify design defects
- Evaluate who is responsible for paying for the change
- Identify considerations for calculating the assessment against the designer
- Become conversant on contract language addressing design defects
- Learn about industry publications on design defects
- Implement sample calculations for determining design defect assessments
- And much, much more!
