Free Handbook Examines Construction Management Roles, Rewards, Risks

Architects and engineers considering construction management (CM) as part of their scope of services will be interested in an informative handbook now being offered free of charge by XL Design Professionals. Construction Management is a handy 16-page manual addressing the roles, responsibilities, rewards and risks associated with CM services. The handbook outlines the pre-construction and construction-phase services typically offered by construction managers, reveals the professional liability risks involved, and offers concrete advice for reducing those risks and making CM a viable option.

"Construction management offers substantial opportunities for design professionals to expand their services and increase revenues," said Gary Prather, XL Design Professional's loss prevention director. "But these services entail risks that can easily cross over into the areas of jobsite safety and hazardous site conditions. Without taking adequate precautions, these risks can easily outweigh the rewards."

Copies of the Construction Management handbook can be obtained by sending an e-mail request (use the "Contact XL Design Professionals" button above, or send your request to dpic@rsausa.com) or by fax to 831.649.0346. Please provide your name, company name and full mailing address and specify the title of the handbook.
