2024 Title Sponsor: Oswald
The architecture and engineering landscape is constantly evolving. With advancements in construction, the industry gets more sophisticated yet challenging at the same time. Whether you’re charged with keeping up with legislative changes on the local, state, and national levels or staying abreast of the latest trends in the market, we understand you have a lot on your plate.
Oswald Companies is one of the nation’s largest independent insurance brokers and risk managers. Our professionals can help you keep track and make sense of it all. Our team has decades of experience serving architects, engineers, construction managers, general contractors, and subcontractors in the design build industry on projects of all types and sizes.
Tim Walsh, Oswald’s Senior Vice President and Director of Design and Construction, has more than 35 years in the industry. He has an unmatched passion for providing sound advice and guidance to his clients. “Throughout my career, I have been fascinated and in awe of the design and construction industry,” Tim said. “The creativity, precision, and superb skills required to conceive, design, budget, sequence, and construct a project have always inspired me.”
With curiosity on his side, there isn’t a problem Tim can’t solve. If a client has a question he can’t answer, Tim will comb through a variety of resources, talk with fellow experts, and read legal cases to find the solution. Through such dedication, Tim has become one of the industry’s premier thought leaders, often called upon to preside over national conferences, meetings and webinars. In 2021, he received the coveted Words of Wisdom award from IRMI for his outstanding contribution to educational programming for the Construction Risk Conference.
