Meeting/Event Information

Redesign, rework, late changes, RFIs, etc. are the bane of the industry. Precious time is wasted and frustration levels boil up. There is a better way of decision making and management that enables transparency and collaboration, reducing challenges the design team faces, resulting in better project outcomes.

Standard structured formats provide a way to organize owner project requirements and design information, and then to test, revise, validate, and implement an optimal solution confidently and efficiently. This hands-on exploration, utilizing LEGOs and your imagination, will clearly apply the knowledge of the decision-making process. Attendees will understand the history, purpose, and usage of structured data so that it becomes a tool in collaboration with appropriate team members and communicating design intent.

Learning Objectives:

Learning Objective 1:
Recognize conditions and processes contributing to redesign and rework; Identify the risks of not including ALL parties in the entire design process and the benefits of equity and including all voices at the design table.

Learning Objective 2:
Practice concepts which encourage team participation and design development. Gain understanding of the value of how the Owner, end users, and Contractor can bring to early design processes to get it right the first time.

Learning Objective 3:
Model team collaboration strategies for improved design results and better building performance. Discover ways to create more sustainable projects when facility maintenance and life cycle are viewed from multiple perspectives.

Learning Objective 4:
Identify decision making and continuous flow through the entire design process and learn how clear communication, using tools like UniFormat, can pave the way to streamlined projects which not only save the design and construction team time, but better serve the Building Owner and occupants.
