A Few Testimonials

 

“We hired SmartRisk to help us identify risks and implement best practice procedures to mitigate our liability exposures. Tim performed a risk assessment, developed a risk management manual to guide us in strategies and practices on higher risk project types such as condominiums. He counsels our project managers and helps evaluate contract provisions. Tim advises KFA on insurance coverage and meets annually with our E&O insurance carrier describing program efforts. SmartRisk involvement has resulted in significant reduction in risk and insurance premium savings. Tim is an advocate for our firm and industry; I heartily recommend his services to other A&E firms.”
Wade Killefer, FAIA, Principal, Killiefer Flammang Architects, (KFA)

“Our firm has gone through significant growth and changes in recent years. SmartRisk provided valuable insights into specific areas of risk and liability exposures for our firm and identified risk management strategies and practices we should consider moving forward to help manage our risk. SmartRisk assessment process was very good and I would recommend it to other A/E firms.”
Jim Begley, Director of Operations, JBA Consulting Engineers

“Initially, I was apprehensive about going through a risk assessment process. However, after meeting Tim and going through the assessment, it opened my eyes to our strengths and what we could do to further mitigate risk. The process was very helpful, obtaining an outside, third party perspective of our risk management efforts. I am surprised more insurance carriers do not use SmartRisk for evaluating risk and exposures, taking the time to understand a firm more fully. I am very impressed with SmartRisk and my insurance carrier. I appreciate their interest in our firm.”
Gregory Romero, President, Cambridge Construction Management

“An SR Risk Assessment is a valuable tool. It identifies risk management strengths and, more importantly, areas of potential concern with recommendations for minimizing liability exposures. Beazley supports these efforts by offering a peer review reimbursement on a 50/50 co-share basis in certain circumstances.”
James Schwartz, Esq., Beazley Insurance Company

“As a firm, we are very close to these issues. It is difficult for us to see, evaluate and identify what we should be focusing on to manage risk. Having an outside resource, SmartRisk, evaluate our firm, identify our strengths as well as areas to focus on to mitigate risk was very helpful and beneficial. Recommended for other A/E firms.”
Leonard Osborn, President, LACO Associates

I highly recommend other A/E firms’ use SmartRisk.”

“The SmartRisk SR Risk Profile process includes questions that are thorough and thought provoking. The completed report provides concise and practical recommendations for a firm to improve its capabilities in important risk and practice management areas. A Risk Management Action Plan is provided outlining concerns identified in the Report. This document is useful for developing a plan to improve risk and practice management deficiencies. I recommend the SR Risk Profile Tool for design firms to supplement their efforts in risk management, quality management and practice improvement.”
