Your Trusted Partner in A&E Risk Management
Jeremy | Retrofit Design
I was unsure of what risks I had opened myself up to by starting my own firm. I learned from this that there's so much I don't know. It gave me a lot to think about and made me much more cautious.
Christian | OPUS 2 MBE
I was so taken by both Zach's personality and expertise that I recently switched from my previous insurance broker to Black Swan. Not that the other company had done anything wrong, but Zach seems to be a much perfect fit for architects in particular. Looking forward to a long, uneventful professional relationship!
Emma, Architect
Attending the course gave me an understanding of the concepts involved with risk management. Zach explained the big ideas clearly, which I think gives you confidence and also is so helpful. I have a much better understanding of contracts and the architect's role on site.
Binita | Parshva Associates
This helped me answer a lot of questions and concerns as a startup small business firm. Zach helped me understand the key requirements and pitfalls to be aware of while drafting a contract along with the pros and cons of certain language or words used in contracts and how these can benefit or harm an architect. I enjoyed Zach's awesomeness! This is very informative especially for those who are new to the business of architecture. Thank you for all you do!
Jefferson | Addison Schierbeek Architects
Zach is personable, clear and very helpful (with a dash of humor) in the daunting challenge of explaining risk as it applies to the architectural profession. He gives concrete and useful methodologies and tactics to mitigate and protect our practices from the ever increasing complexities of the legal world in which we live. I will continue refining our contract, evolving our language and communication, while paying closer attention to important topics like Standard of Care.
Chris | n3 architecture
This course helped me begin to craft a comprehensive risk management plan for my firm and identify specific points in the documents my firm uses that could be better. I made immediate changes to my standard contract and to the way in which I use my cell phone. I will continue to implement other changes to my agreement forms and terms of conditions from the notes I took during the training. I look forward to hearing more from Zach in the future!
