DALLAS—In response to the tremendous risk and insurance challenges confronting the construction industry, International Risk Management Institute, Inc. (IRMI), announces a new series of four seminars for 2008: Construction Defect Risk Management and Insurance; Contract Risk Management: Tactics for Success; Wrap-Ups: Beyond the Basics from Concept to Closeout; and New Industry Contract Documents and Your Bottom Line.

New AIA and ConsensusDOCS contracts will have significant impacts on the risks allocated to contractors, and indemnity, additional insured, and other contractual risk transfer issues remain at the top of the risk management problem list for many contractors. Back-to-back seminars on contractual risk transfer topics will allow participants to immerse themselves in the issues and explore practical solutions to the problems. Construction defect and wrap-ups are also on the radar screens of most construction risk and insurance professionals, and updated seminars on these topics will provide in-depth best practices to avoid problems and maximize opportunities. As with all IRMI seminars, these come with a money back guarantee of quality.

The seminars will be held in the following cities: San Diego on March 25-27, Miami on April 8-10, and Dallas on April 22-24.

The following industry experts will present the seminars: Jeffrey D. Masters and Michael J. O’Neill will present Construction Defect Risk Management and Insurance; Gerald Katz and Frank Keres will present Contract Risk Management: Tactics for Success; Kathleen A. Creedon, Tracy Saxe, and Christopher T. Smith will present Wrap-Ups: Beyond the Basics from Concept to Closeout; and Bill Ernstrom, James E. Frey, and Kevin F. Peartree will present New Industry Contract Documents and Your Bottom Line.

The registration fee is $699 for one seminar or $1,298 for two seminars, with substantial discounts for groups. Registration opens January 28, 2008.
