AIA/ AGC Joint Committee: Fall 2026 Lunch & Learn

October 27, 2026 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM (CDT)

Description


Design Phase Optimization - Tools for Collaboration

As design and construction projects become increasingly complex, early collaboration between architects, contractors, and project teams is more important than ever. Join the AIA/AGC Committee for an engaging program featuring real-world case studies that highlight common project challenges and the collaborative solutions that helped overcome them. Presenters will explore practical processes for identifying and addressing project risks early in the design phase, along with best practices for architects and contractors to work together to develop complete, constructible solutions from the start. Attendees will gain insight into how stronger communication, better planning, and early collaboration can help teams reduce rework, minimize risk, prevent costly claims and change orders, and ultimately deliver more successful projects. Whether you are involved in design, estimating, preconstruction, or construction, this program will provide valuable strategies you can apply to your next project. 

Key Takeaways:

  • Identify and mitigate project risks early in the design phase
  • Strengthen architect-contractor collaboration through effective communication, coordination, and planning
  • Develop more complete, constructible solutions that reduce rework, change orders, and claims
  • Apply real-world lessons and best practices to deliver more successful projects
