Seminar Description
Every construction contract contains hidden risks—and they’re often transferred down the chain from the project owner to the general contractor, and ultimately to subcontractors. Failing to fully understand these provisions can leave your company holding unexpected liabilities.
This seminar will break down the fundamentals of contractual risk transfer in plain language, helping you identify what’s at stake before you sign. We’ll cover the role of insurance in managing risk, how contractual clauses shift exposure, and the critical importance of additional insured endorsements. Whether you’re an owner, GC, or subcontractor, you’ll walk away with practical knowledge to better protect your business.
