SUMMARY:Managing Construction Phase Risks
DESCRIPTION:The ACEC-BC Professional Development Committee invites you to a virtual PD event on Managing Construction Phase Risks!\n\n\nJoin the ACEC-BC Professional Development Committee on September 29 as we discuss Managing Construction Phase Risks with guest speakers Wilma Schreuders and Rob McLeod. \nThe construction phase of a project brings a design firm’s hard work to realization. By approaching this phase proactively\, Engineering and Architecture firms can exercise greater control over the interpretation of the final design\, address questions and problems as they arise\, and support the client’s objectives more effectively. But anyone who has been involved in construction phase services knows the process also has plenty of traps for the unwary—traps that can leave firms open to a professional liability claim. \nThis discussion includes an overview of AXA XL’s Risk Drivers research\, highlighting how many factors are linked or related to CA services. We will review the purpose and importance of CA services\, typical CA activities and best practices in each of these areas. The course identifies how to spot and manage disputes\, takes a look at project close-out procedures and wraps up with an opportunity for you to reflect on potential areas of improvement.  \nPD Hours: 1.5 hours \nCost: ACEC-BC member: Free | Non member: $15 \n \n\n\n\nAbout the speakers \nWilma Schreuders\n \nVice President & Head of Canada\n\, AXA XL Design Professional Group\n \nWilma Schreuders\, Vice President & General Manager with the Design Professional group\, a division of AXA XL.
