Analyzing Project Types
What do Architectural Record and Schinnerer have in common? Both have conducted studies of various project types for the benefit of the design professions. Architectural Record looks at project types from a design standpoint, highlighting individual projects with photos, drawings, specifications, descriptions, and design solutions. Schinnerer looks at project types from a claims standpoint, highlighting decisions and actions taken that lead to a claim. We also include statistics on the particular project type and offer some guidance as to steps firms can take to avoid similar claims.
Both approaches offer a unique insight for firms to manage their risks when designing for various project types. In the latest study for Architectural Record, they examined school projects. Schinnerer also examined schools projects. Current insureds can access our study with their website login and password.
