ConsensusDocs’ Coalition Executive Director Brian Perlberg will be moderating a panel of construction general counsel at this year’s Construction Superconference. This session will provide practical information and describe real-world scenarios in which builders are increasingly getting stuck with design liability, even in design-bid-build projects.

The session “Designing a Way to Manage Design, Supply, and Subcontractor Risk as GCs Face a Tipping Point of Risk” will feature prominent general counsel from leading construction companies. Speakers include Ryan Lamb from Weitz, Matt Sanchez from Jaynes Corporation, and Steve Cvitanovic from Build Group. These experienced in-house attorneys will explain why some top-75 ENR general contractors have left the design-build market due to unreasonable contracts as well as contract administrative maneuvering that can amount to death by 10,000 cuts. The panel will also share insights on how defective construction from stretched trade partners and supply chain delays continue to wreak havoc in today’s challenging construction market.
