HAMILTON, N.J. (April 13, 2015)—David M. Slaugenhoup, CRIS of New Day Underwriting Managers LLC, a leading environmental and construction-related professional liability resource for insurance agents and brokers, has been selected to address the latest insurance trends, challenges and issues at the Design Build Institute of America (DBIA) Water Design Build Conference to be held from April 21 – 23 at the Hershey Lodge and Convention Center in Hershey, Pennsylvania. This year’s event, which will be held in conjunction with the Pennsylvania American Water Works Association (AWWA) 67th Annual Conference, was developed to promote design-build best practices that save time, control costs and increase the quality of the nation’s water/wastewater construction projects. “This conference provides a significant opportunity to address the growing design build risks that are currently exposing contractors, builders and owners to ever-increasing liabilities during the construction lifecycle,” says Slaugenhoup. “The evolving regulatory landscape along with the ongoing demand for green building techniques have left many construction companies and commercial project owners to navigate through unchartered waters should devastating circumstances arise." During the presentation titled “Insurance for Design Build” to be offered at 10:30 a.m. EST on Thursday, April 23, Slaugenhoup will highlight:
- Design-build projects, especially those relating to water
- The differences between the latest design-build project delivery methods and standard design-build-build methodologies
- How the insurance industry is continuing to evolve with the introduction and update of professional liability insurance coverages designed specifically for this marketplace
- Design build coverage differences among the nation’s leading carriers
