ASFE: PROFESSIONAL FIRMS PRACTICING
IN THE GEOSCIENCES
SEMINAR OBJECTIVE
Your field personnel meet with your clients on a daily basis during construction. As a result, the reputation of your firm with clients is based in large part on the quality of services provided by your field representatives and technicians. Litigation involving design firms often results due to problems that develop during construction being monitored by their field personnel. Therefore, firms can enhance their reputation and reduce their exposure to litigation by providing their field representatives and technicians with formal continuing education training. This seminar gives field personnel and their supervisors information that will enhance their skills by understanding their role and the role of their firm during construction.
