Owners and contractors have been subject to increased litigation arising from risks created by construction operations. However, due to changes in the insurance market, contractors are increasingly challenged to secure insurance coverage to meet owner insurance requirements. As a result, many owners have turned to incepting an owner-controlled insurance program or relying on a contractor-controlled insurance program to address the project risks.

This audio conference will arm you with an overview of the types of risks typically addressed by insurance, and a review of the advantages and disadvantages of the three options of insuring those risks: traditional insurance, owner-controlled insurance or contractor-controlled insurance. Whether you have ongoing maintenance projects or you are planning to build a large project, this audio conference will equip you with an understanding of your options for managing those project risks.

Learning Objectives:

• You will be able to identify those risks typically insured in construction projects.
• You will be able to better explain and understand design and construction risk.
• You will be able to define advantages and disadvantages of the three insurance options.
• You will be able to recognize owner considerations for selecting the right insurance option.
