You’re invited to join us on April 28 at KSC for an engaging Lunch & Learn, followed by drinks and networking.
Technology is accelerating the pace of design and construction, but project outcomes still depend on how well architects, VDC teams, and builders align expectations—from schematic design through field execution.
This panel workshop shares practical coordination strategies, real-world reconciliation approaches, and fabrication-informed workflows that help teams reduce rework, protect design intent, and improve constructability.
Learning Objectives
- Identify the most common coordination breakdowns across SD, DD, CD, and CA, and apply phase-specific prevention tactics to reduce downstream RFIs and rework.
- Describe how early modeling standards and BIM Execution Plan (BEP) decisions influence constructability, cost certainty, and schedule risk later in the project.
- Evaluate structured design reconciliation methods that bridge design intent and construction reality by surfacing clashes, scope gaps, and constructability constraints before mobilization.
- Apply communication practices that improve cross-disciplinary collaboration—using technology as a shared language rather than a silo—resulting in clearer coordination and decision-making.
- Specify what information is most valuable for builders (tolerances, assemblies, sequencing constraints, access/clearances) and map it to the design team’s deliverable timeline.
This course is approved for 1.5 LU. continuing education credits by AIA CES.
