Design-build delivery carries much greater risk to a contractor than conventional project delivery methods. Chief among these risks is the potential for increased actual or final costs to a general contractor or design-build entity compared to the estimates presented in their bid. The result is that many contractors using design-build are experiencing lower profitability or even taking losses.
In addition, contractors are making claims against their prime engineering subconsultants and the mitigation coverage in their contractor’s professional liability (CPrL) insurance at a much higher frequency and severity than the subconsultants and insurers had anticipated.

Construction professionals undoubtedly engage in a call or email conversation at least once a year with their insurance broker to discuss the company’s insurance coverages. Typically, these conversations center around whether to renew the company’s existing policies with its current insurance carriers or purchase policies from new insurance carriers. Sometimes, these conversations also explore whether the company is adequately insured for foreseeable risks. For general contractors and subcontractors, the focus is usually on the coverages typically required under the terms of your contracts, such as general liability, automobile liability and workers’ compensation coverage; indeed, these insurance policies should address any curveballs that might get tossed at the company during the course of a project.
