Insurance Solutions for Design-Build Delivery Method Construction Projects

Valerie P. Onderka and Donna M. Hunt Vice President

Insurance is an important element in a comprehensive design-build delivery plan to help manage and allocate the risk inherent in most construction projects.  Most exposures can be transferred through a combination of traditional insurance and surety products.  The challenge is selecting the appropriate insurance products to address the specific nature of the design-build delivery agreement entered into by the property owner and the design-build contractor, who is legally liable for professional services.

What is Design-Build Delivery and Why It Matters

Valerie P. Onderka and Donna M. Hunt Vice President

Design-Build is a project delivery contracting method within the construction industry. An owner enters into a contract with a Contractor or Design-Builder for the complete design and construction of a particular project. It is prudent for the design-builder to assess the responsibilities and risks they will assume under the design-build agreement and determine how best to manage those risks.

Hidden Dangers of Storage Tank Environmental Risks

Max Horn and Elham Tallackson Assistant Vice Presidents

As technology continues to advance, long term care providers, like other healthcare providers, have become increasingly driven by digital data.  Electronic storage of residents’ medical records and the virtual delivery of care have made it imperative for management to protect sensitive data.  The challenge is that many nursing homes and other senior or assisted living facilities (collectively “Long Term Care providers”) may not have a response plan in place to shield themselves and their patients/residents in the event of a cyber-attack.  Resultant potential for significant financial losses related to recovery and remediation could be significant.
