Collaboration and Efficiency in Design and Construction

Design Assist describes a form of collaboration where a construction professional provides information to assist a design professional’s design, typically before pricing for the work has been agreed upon or before the work has been awarded. Delegated Design describes a form of design collaboration where the contractor assumes responsibility for an element or portion of a project’s design.

Join us for an informative webinar geared towards design professionals, contractors and attorneys in which legal experts will discuss Design Assist and Delegated Design and the risks and responsibilities associated with each. Recognize and address unique contract issues when working with these collaborative methods.  Presenters will also examine contract issues associated with the early start of construction in the Construction Manager as Constructor (CMc) delivery method.
