A recent survey highlighted three key risk concerns for Small Firm owners: working for the wrong client, working without an adequate contract, and failure to do a thorough job during construction administration. Improperly managed, these risks can evolve into professional liability claims against architects, and might cause major damage to a Small Firm.
This seminar will examine root causes and introduce several mitigation tactics to deal with client selection, contract management, and construction phase risks. The business of design can be a risky proposition, and a better understanding of the "Big Three" will improve your chances of success.
Learning Objectives (4 required for CE)
- Understand the purpose and importance of proper client selection, contract management, and construction phase services.
- Examine how poor execution within these three areas can result in claims, and review best practices for managing the risks.
- Learn to recognize the warning signs of a dispute or potential claim.
- Discuss what procedures may help your firm improve.
