December 7, 2022 /
MGM Grand, Las Vegas /
9:45 AM - 11:00 AM
The design-assist model for contracting inherently arises from complicated, compressed or collaborative projects. This type of interdisciplinary participation in design and construction has many benefits and an equal number of risks. Shawn Farrell will be joined by Kim Rolston (W&W/AFCO Steel) and Carl Bloomfield (The Graham Company) to outline the dangers of implementing this method of project delivery as well as some best practices for maximum the benefits of this model. They will examine this form of project delivery with a special focus on the contract language parties should consider and explain the design responsibilities that commonly arise. Finally, the presenters will explore when and how insurance can mitigate risks.
