Andrew Mendelson of Berkley Design Professional to Address BIM Issues and

Best Practices at American Council of Engineering Companies 2019 Annual

Convention

Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA, April 11, 2019 --(PR.com)-- Andrew D. Mendelson, FAIA, senior vice
president, chief risk management officer at Berkley Design Professional, a division of Berkley Alliance
Managers, a Berkley Company, will address Building Information Modeling (BIM) issues and best
practices at the American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) 2019 Annual Convention &
Legislative Summit to be held May 5 - 8, at the Marriott Wardman Park in Washington, D.C.

“When used properly, BIM can improve a design firm's productivity, quality and project team
relationships, as well as increase operational efficiencies from project inception through post-construction
facility management,” says Mendelson. “However, users must be aware of the potential legal implications
and professional liability risks emanating from the unintended use of this emerging technology.”

During the session titled “Managing the Legal and Practice Issues of BIM,” Mendelson will explore BIM
benefits and methodologies while underscoring its effect on the design and project delivery process. This
includes managing the evolving risks of this powerful design technology which can reduce the exposure
to errors and omissions allegations, delays and even costly litigation. The presentation is scheduled for
Monday, May 6, at 9:45 a.m. Eastern time.

Andrew D. Mendelson, FAIA, is an acknowledged design industry leader in the area of risk management
and contracts. He has nearly four decades of experience as a licensed architect and firm principal. Since
2013, Mendelson has directed Berkley Design Professional's efforts to provide design professionals with
leading-edge, risk and practice management resources, tools and training.
