Don Oates and I, working with the KPFF Board and the KPFF President, comprise the Risk Management team for KPFF. We focus on risk management training and consulting with our KPFF partners about problems or opportunities related to professional risk on projects.

KPFF’s risk management philosophy is centered around six prescriptions for success:

• Careful Risk Evaluation
• Clear Scope of Work
• Fair Contracts
• Quality Work Product
• Adequate Construction Phase Services
• Effective Communication
