W07−Design Assist: A Map of Communication Between the Builder and the Design Team
Gloria Rasmussen and Nicholas Bagatelos
This presentation explores a process designed to establish a flow of communication between the design team and the builder. Based on the traditional standard contractual methods of project delivery, it includes tools to establish non-interrupted dialogue to document information
for designing and building—and reducing revisions, clarifications, and modifications.
W08−Building Enclosure Mockups: Types and Testing
Brian Stroik
How can owners be assured their building enclosure will be installed correctly and with the right products, and will work as anticipated with adjacent materials? This presentation discusses various types of mockups/first-run studies, along with their advantages and disadvantages.
W09−School Security: A Look at Classroom Door Locking Solutions
Laura Frye
There is an ever-growing public concern for school safety—and products coming into the marketplace that do not meet already-established code requirements for accessibility and life safety. This session looks at what is available for security purposes that are code-compliant and the concerns regarding those products that are not.
W11−Forensic Building Information Models (BIM): Leveraging BIM in Litigation
James Salmon
This session explores the use of building information models (BIM) to prove and defend complex construction claims. It also includes examples of after-the-fact BIM use to establish design liability, delay damages, and construction defects. Participants will learn to treat BIM both as a sword and a shield, depending on the circumstances.
W12−Deconstructed Specifications
David Metzger
Specifying is far more than just the written documentation of a project’s materials and systems; it also can be creative, design-focused problem solving and a means to integrate the art and science of architecture. Discussion includes methods of product procurement, visual and testing mockups, material selection, and window/wall design and testing.
11:00 a.m.−12:00 p.m.
W13−Digitally Manufactured Concrete Formwork: A Case Study at the Cleveland Museum of Art
Chris Hardy
Through the lens of a specific project, this course explores the possibilities of digitally fabricating concrete formwork, the associated design and documentation process, and the lessons learned from the construction process. It covers the creation of design processes and efficient specification procedures to facilitate integration of this type of formwork.
W14−Understanding and Mitigating Long-term Liability for the Commercial Construction Project
Bryan Thomas and Heather Wright
The concept of ‘future claims’ is often misunderstood, underappreciated, and mismanaged. When defect issues arise years after completion, project participants are often left asking the questions that should have been addressed on the front end. Do I have any liability this many years after construction? If so, do I have any insurance coverage for those liabilities?
