In the first of a series of podcasts powered by J3 Advisory<\/a> and Showhouse Magazine, Jack Bristow, J3 Advisory, and James Calland, ACS, discuss the world of insurance and mitigating construction defects<\/h2>\n

This article provides a snippet of the latest Voice of the Surveyor podcast, with host Rupert Bates, editorial director of Showhouse.<\/p>\n

What are the key considerations that the industry should be looking at today?<\/h3>\n

Jack Bristow: I think timing and communication is a thread that runs throughout everything we do with developers.<\/p>\n

As everyone should know, the earlier you engage on insurance<\/a> with the insurers themselves or your advisor with the surveying team, so they can have some input into design, the better.<\/p>\n

It’s important to make sure that everyone understands what the common goal is, what the objective is with regards to what’s being built, and how that is going to happen.<\/p>\n

James Calland: To expand on what Jack has touched on there from a surveying point of view is that there’s various providers in the market nowadays, but there are still standard industry fundamentals that must be hit as a target.<\/p>\n

Part of that comes down to timing. The earlier you can engage with people like Jack, the surveyors, and the providers, the better standing you will put yourself in.<\/p>\n
