Does your service include negotiation with the underwriter or is it more of a review that will inform someone else (like a lawyer or the client) to negotiate the terms?

I have heard of the need for continued coverage after the fact. Now I have a name for it. If you choose the “infinite” tail coverage option, are there infinite premiums?

So, you…[Read more]

Risk Managers and Lawyers read contracts differently. A lawyer looks at a contract to make sure you are protected and the contract is legal. I look at the contracts to make sure that the nuances are in the contract that will save you money on the placement of the insurance product. I guess the gest way to describe it is that risk management…[Read more]

Thank you, David. Your detailed response affirmed my internal sense that there must be some important nuance in getting a fair and reliable deal regarding E&O Insurance. I appreciate that you laid out some specific areas of concern.

This is definitely the sort of thing that could make or break a fledgling practice. It sounds like you might be in…[Read more]

Wow, Antigonum! I was in Puerto Rico in the sixties and it was beautiful..I am so sorry to hear what you have to say..

lol … that was awesome.

Funny.

the batter of a wall. (hee hee!~) footings is a funny word, really..eyelid dormer..friable soil..most of the construction words are fairly silly, when you think about it – rebars, brushed aggregate, vanishing edge, dbh or at the ‘flange’, drip-line, tip die-back, soil horizons, flemish bond (-age – just kidding!), pierced wall,

how’s that for a…[Read more]

Also, professional liability policies/errors and omissions poolicies work the same regardless of inustry. There may be a nuance here or there that is differenct, but regardless of occupation, the above comments are safe and applicable.

Let me put a quick disclaimer on this. I am not a transactional insurance agent. I am a risk management consultant that works with technology and life sciences companies of all shapes and sizes. I have the ability to place insurance, but our goal is to educate our clients to make sound business decisions and transfer as much risk as possible which…[Read more]

if you can show people how to save money while they save the fluffy bunnies they will be much more attentive to doing something. The best “green” movements attack two things, the pocketbook and the health and safety of children or future generations.

Thanks so much everyone for the suggestions!! I just got back 2 weeks ago and wanted to say thankyou for the tips on places to go. I’ll post some pictures on my profile and put the link incase anyone is interested 🙂

Thanks again

Hello!

I am a landscape architect in South Korea!!

Great stuff, thanks very much. What a great resource, this Land8Lounge. I think that for their purposes, plain DG will be just fine.

With traffic (little feet) and the clay content of the DG you will have problems with all three of your concerns. We have spec’ed a little cement to be added to the DG as a binder. It lasts longer than the polymer based material. The City of Santa Maria, California has been using DG walks in all of there public parks with great success.

In every Landscape journal i’ve read they use more than their fair share of the words paradigm and milieu.

My favorite Landscape Architectural term is ha-ha. I have always wanted to put one in a design but as of yet have never had the opportunity.

in the cliche department, “outdoor rooms”
