There are several reasons for is an increasing emphasis on collaboration between design professionals and builders:
- The benefits when aspects of a project's design are informed by builder input.
- The complexity and proprietary of building materials and systems.
- The valuable technical contributions specialty contractors and product manufacturers provide to the most complicated parts of a project's design.
These paradigm shifts have spurred strategies to connect design professionals with contractors, specialty contractors, and product manufacturers during the project's design stages for a more successful outcome.
In this program, we examine the distinctions between design assist and delegated design; describe the roles and responsibilities of project team members; discuss problems that can arise, and offer definitions and guidelines that design professionals and the construction industry can adopt for their use.
Attendees will receive a free copy of the new white paper "Design Collaboration on Construction Projects Part 1: Delegated Design, Design Assist, and Informal Involvement – What Does it All Mean?," jointly published by the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC).
