Description:
The AIA A201 2017 General Conditions Document has been rewritten and includes for the first time an Insurance and Bonds Exhibit detailing insurance requirements. This will impact the insurance requirements for both Owners and Contractors. The AGC-endorsed ConsensusDocs also made significant changes in its updated standard documents that among other things now defaults to the Constructor procuring the Builder's Risk Policy, instead of the Owner. This webinar will highlight changes to the various insurance requirements and what you need to do to comply as well as identify alternative contract negotiation strategies.
