HOW VDC PLANNING AND EXECUTION CAN DRIVE SUCCESSFUL DESIGN-BUILD OUTCOMES
Thursday, Oct. 29, 11 p.m. - Noon EST
Alex Belkofer, McCarthy, VDC Director

Beginning with the owner’s objectives in mind, virtual design & construction (VDC) planning elevates everyone’s thinking to a more integrated, strategic level while driving value throughout the project. This session offers a straightforward project delivery map for integrating BIM as the tool, level of development as the language and VDC as the process. A playbook, exercise and examples demonstrate steps toward success (and missteps to avoid) – from RFP through contract, execution, and delivery and turnover.
THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE AWESOME: OWNER ENGAGEMENT IN COLLABORATIVE DESIGN-BUILD
Thursday, Oct. 29, Noon - 1 p.m. EST

The extraordinary challenges of the California State University – Sacramento University Union Expansion provide the backdrop for Union WELL’s executive director to guide this frank and practical session on owner engagement.
