PRACTICE NOTES
Design and build contractors’ PI insurance: cover, exclusions, mitigation costs, cladding, fitness for purpose and pricing risk
What is design and build?
In its essence, design and build (D&B):
is a procurement route under which one organisation (the D&B contractor) takes responsibility for both the design and the construction stages of a scheme, and
can give the employer a single point of contact and accountability, thereby lowering the employer’s risk.
Whilst D&B places greater risk on the D&B contractor, this is dealt with through pricing overall
