12:00 pm Check-in, Networking, & Coffee
Workshop A
1:00 pm Optimizing Model Coordination to Enable Efficient Structural & MEP Integration
Synopsis
• Ensuring the structural team works in the model first to optimize constructability and prevent costly redesigns
• Leveraging early clash detection to avoid conflicts such as MEP systems altering bearing tolerances, saving time and money
• Utilizing coordinated models to inform accuracy in fabrication and installation plans
3:00 pm Afternoon Refreshments
Workshop B
3:30 pm Overcoming the Lack of Suitable Modeling Tools to Address Unique Design & Production Challenges of Façade & Panelized Systems
Synopsis
• Leveraging adaptable design software to accommodate unique project requirements and support seamless integration of production methods
• Creating specialized tools to standardize framing techniques and optimize the overall prefabrication process
• Avoiding over-reliance on technology by ensuring tools enhance creativity and adaptability rather than dictate workflows
