The Ins and Outs of Additional Insured Status
The Ins and Outs of Additional Insured Status
You really can't blame your clients for trying to secure optimum financial protection for their building projects in the event something goes wrong. After all, projects are sizeable, long-term investments that can make or break an owner depending on the performance of the design and construction teams involved.
Insurance plays an important role in providing clients financial protection against such losses. That's why nearly all experienced clients specify the minimum levels of policy limits for various types of insurance that must be carried by the contractors, designers and other parties to the project.

REFLECTIONS OF MARTIN LUTHER KING’S LEGACY
“IF YOU CAN'T FLY THEN RUN, IF YOU CAN'T RUN THEN WALK, IF YOU CAN'T WALK THEN CRAWL, BUT WHATEVER YOU DO YOU HAVE TO KEEP MOVING FORWARD.” MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.
This MLK day, let’s take a day of reflection and action in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King’s Legacy. We invite you to contemplate how racial inequities have shaped our cities and how we can design for and best serve our diverse communities in the future.
February is Black History Month and this year we would like to reflect on MLK’s dream for equity for all. All year long we will explore issues in equity through our new Equity In Series.
