From the supplier: Design professionals can diminish their risk of liability in differing site conditions claims with certain precautions in contracts and professional practices. Claims against design professionals include failure to perform adequate pre-construction investigations, failure to disclose information about existing site conditions and failure to resolve contractors' differing site conditions claims promptly. Design professionals should protect themselves with differing site conditions clauses in the contract and also with disclaimers. Consulting a geotechnical engineer for expert advice on administering a contract might also be helpful.
