Study Identifies Project 'Risk Drivers' for Engineers and Architects

摘要

A new study conducted by DPIC companies confirms that structural engineers remain the high-risk discipline when it comes to professional liability claims. And, no surprise, condominiums continue to top the charts as the riskiest type of construction project. What may be surprising, though, are the prevalence of non-technical factors that often lead to these claims. DPIC's Risk Drivers~(SM) study analyzes 8687 claim files from 1996 to 2000, measuring relative risk of design work by design discipline, project type, and other factors.
