ATLANTA - Starting a design/build business is not as simple as adding a new tag line to your corporate brochure, Web site, or business cards. "What you say you can do has a big impact on your legal liabilities and what others expect of you," Mark Diamond cautions.
Diamond is co-author of The ASHRAE Member's Survival Guide – Design/Build, published by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). The guide provides background on the issues, consequences, and liabilities that can result for those considering executing projects using a design/build approach.
