Practice Management for Design Professionals: A Practical Guide to Avoiding Liability and Enhancing Profitability

Based on the experiences of the Associated Soil and Foundations Engineers, this book discusses the methods that civil engineers, architects, builders, contractors and other professionals can use to lower liability insurance rates. The ASFE - formed to control the insurance rates of geotechnical engineers which were the highest among design professionals - created and disseminated a series of programs and other information that lowered their members’ insurance rates in less than 20 years to the lowest in the design industry. The book details and demonstrates how to apply these methods to other design professions.
