Join the AIA/AGC Joint Committee on April 23 for a Lunch and Learn on Documentation Best Practices and Pre-Construction Collaboration!
Clear documentation and early collaboration are the foundation of successful projects. Join us for an engaging Lunch & Learn on Documentation Best Practices and Pre-Construction Collaboration, where architects and contractors come together to align expectations, reduce risk, and improve project outcomes.
This interactive roundtable session will explore practical strategies for creating clear construction documents, strengthening communication during pre-construction, and minimizing costly misunderstandings once work begins. By bringing both architects and contractors to the table, we’ll encourage open dialogue, shared perspectives, and real-world solutions that benefit the entire project team.
Enjoy lunch while connecting with peers, exchanging insights, and building relationships that lead to smoother projects from design through construction.
Who should attend: Architects, contractors, project managers, and pre-construction professionals interested in improving coordination and documentation across the project lifecycle.
Seats are limited—register today and come ready to ask questions, share insights, and sharpen your skills.
Note: Please choose the correct registration link for your professional role so we can create balanced and effective roundtable groups.
Lunch Sponsor Opportunities are also available and include the following: ✔ An opportunity to address the full group at the start of the event ✔ Logo recognition on signage and slides ✔ Recognition in event marketing ✔ Direct connection with architects, contractors, and industry professionals |
