Marsh Report: At Least One Professional Liability Insurer is Considering a LEED Project Coverage Endorsement
A green building project without sufficient insurance coverage will never get out of the ground, which is why the recent efforts of Marsh to review current trends in the marketplace with respect to green building insurance issues have been particularly insightful.
