Covering Risks In Design-Build

摘要

Are design-build projects introducing contractors to risks for which they are unprepared? The issue was front and center-and with good cause-at the Associated General Contractors' annual convention in San Juan on March 17-20. Anecdotal accounts suggest that design-build will continue to claim more market share from other project-delivery systems. Risk and Insurance, an industry publication, recently wrote that design-build and integrated project delivery potentially saddle contractors with exposures that could "slow" the construction recovery. That was probably overstating the case because contractors are taking steps to control those risks.
