The goal of this session is twofold: to better understand how drawings are prepared so they clearly communicate the design by the time they reach the contractor , and to get the most out of visits to job sites. Strategies to provide clarity from design to construction will be explored.

Learning Objectives:

Gain applicable skills to enhance drawing sets at all phases for clarity, precision, and coordination.
Understand ways to better conduct site visits to keep disruptions to a minimum, avoid delays, and resolve issues.
Develop an understanding of methods to handle issues and errors as they arise quickly and effectively.
Understand the importance of building a working relationship with the contractor(s) and having a presence during the construction phase.
