Brumitt Delivers Presentation to American Subcontractors Association
Lee Brumitt delivered a presentation to the American Subcontractors Association (ASA) on Jan. 9 entitled, “Indemnity and Hold Harmless.”
He discussed indemnification and hold harmless provisions, how subcontractors can limit exposure to such provisions, how state laws may impact such provisions, and the key issues involved in assuring that subcontractors have adequate insurance coverage to absorb risks they might agree to assume.
“The most important contract issue facing subcontractors is the extent to which risks inherent in the construction process—property damage, personal injury, liquidated damages, design or construction defects, etc.—are transferred from the upper tiers to subcontractors,” said Brumitt.

Brumitt Publishes Article in “Contractor’s Compass”
Lee Brumitt published a story in the December 2016 edition of Contractor’s Compass entitled, “Eliminate or Reduce Financial Impact of Retainage.”
“In the 1840s, the United Kingdom was constructing a massive railway system. The huge work demand brought unqualified and insolvent contractors to the fray. Defective and incomplete work was commonplace. To combat the losses and assure that work was completed, the government withheld 20 percent of the contract amount. Thus, the practice of retainage was born. Critics say its time has come and gone.”
