With any project from the earliest design concepts, through to the construction process and throughout its life cycle, there are associated risks and potential liabilities that have to be addressed. You can transfer some of these risks and liabilities into various insurance products or contracts, whilst others you retain and manage with proper risk management techniques or otherwise outright avoid.
