The temptation can be great to expand the operations of a design firm and begin to dabble in construction management. New revenue sources, larger projects, and promises of future and ongoing work are alluring indeed. The road to perdition is often plated with gold.

Even a small percentage of construction management within a consulting engineering firm can fundamentally change the risk profile, insurability and ability to obtain adequate limits to meet the contractual demands of clients all too eager to transfer their own inherent risk onto an unsuspecting and novice engineer.

Choosing to add construction management operations to your design firm have many other impacts and provide opportunities both good and bad. The purview of this talk is to look at the impact to Insurance and risk management. Engaging with your risk manager or insurance professional on a broad-reaching conversation to plan long-term impacts is essential to making a wise and fruitful design with regards to construction management being added to your design firm’s operations portfolio.
