A design-build project carries the promise of greater efficiency, faster delivery and fewer contract disputes. On any construction project, those are some of the key elements that make or break the project’s success. Design-build may work in theory, but how does it play out in the real world? Is design-build really the way to go? On June 3, construction law expert Michael Loulakis will present a 90-minute webinar in partnership with WPL Publishing to answer those questions.

After 30 years of practicing construction law, Loulakis has seen it all. In his presentation, "Lessons Learned: Recent Developments in Design-Build Case Law," Loulakis will reveal his findings based on more than 500 design-build cases over the past 15 years, and then show you the way to successfully navigate a design-build project. He will discuss:

• How to protect your position if something goes wrong
• Key responsibilities of owners
• Specific risks and liabilities to watch out for
• Disputes specific to design-build and how to avoid them
• Types of design-build disputes, such as insurance, dispute resolution clauses, contract ambiguities and contract document issues
• How to manage major design-build risks, including site conditions, preliminary design, performance vs. design specs, shifting of standard of care boundaries and subcontractor issues
• Issues you can expect as design-build and Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) evolve
• And, much more!

The presentation is geared toward owners, contractors, subcontractors, architects, engineers and construction attorneys. At the end of the presentation, participants will have the opportunity to ask questions during an interactive question-and-answer period.
