Even experience in extensive design in academic context can provide only limited perspective in engineering decision making. From these experiences from past, the common causes of structural failures are understood. 2) poor communication between the fabricators and erectors. (3)

Shoring is designed to prevent collapse where shielding is only designed to protect workers when collapses occur. concrete structures shoring, in this case also referred to as falsework, provides temporary support until the concrete becomes hard and achieves the desired strength to support loads.

Last Thursday I attended a symposium on the application of Job Order contracting (JOC) in Washington State. I have been compiling and reviewing Job Order Contracting cost estimates (proposals) for over 20 years and I actually had a bit of an awakening at this symposium. Thursday, February 9, 2012. “Negotiating” JOC.

I am also hoping to do some complimentary speeches at select organizations such as AIA, IFMA and others that will have me on topics in estimating and Job Order Contracting. Newer Post.

Ed Carrigan asked: “Do you believe there is a savings between JOC program and a bidding process (design-bid-build)?” For multi-trade repair and improvement type projects, Job Order Contracting will win out on a savings analysis over design-bid-build. ” Thanks for the question, Ed. This is the secret.

As an example, Job Order Contracting has a strong partnering component that thrives when founded in TRUST. When the TRUST fades so does the contract! There are also the stories of the low bidder capitalizing on imperfect design documents with change orders as the project unfolds. Newer Post. Older Post. Woolsey, MBA.

” I get this question a lot from my architect friends when helping them budget their projects through the design process. The phase of design that a project is in will also influence the markups used. A project at a conceptual design phase would suggest a different markup than one that is 90% complete with construction documents.
