Join us for a Mastermind Peer group session April 10th and 11th In Kansas City, MO.
This workshop for civil engineers bridges the gap between the design team, contractors, and the municipalities they serve through a hands-on learning experience on an active job site, followed by a pre-bid project design reviews. The goal is to expose the design team to real-world construction challenges, enabling them to think beyond the blueprint and create designs that seamlessly integrate logistics, existing infrastructure, and future developments. By gaining firsthand insight into field constraints and constructability issues, engineers can develop more practical, efficient, and collaborative design solutions that improve project outcomes for all stakeholders. With 25 years in the construction industry, I bring the expertise and insight to bridge the gap between design and execution, fostering collaboration that leads to exceptional projects and lasting professional relationships.
This hands-on workshop series bridges the gap between design and construction by providing civil engineers with direct field experience on active construction sites. Covering critical aspects like traffic control, grading, utilities, structures, paving, logistics, and site restoration, participants gain firsthand insight into constructability challenges and field constraints. The agenda includes safety briefings, guided site walkthroughs, hands-on trade experience, and collaborative problem-solving discussions with contractors and municipal representatives. Engineers analyze real-world design-to-field discrepancies, explore solutions, and refine design practices to improve efficiency, reduce RFIs and change orders, and foster better collaboration. Follow-up group sessions further reinforce learning through project-specific SWOT analysis, ensuring long-term improvements in design and construction coordination.
This workshop is designed for civil engineers, contractors, municipal project managers, and other industry professionals involved in infrastructure design and construction. It is ideal for design engineers looking to enhance their practical understanding of construction challenges, contractors seeking better collaboration with design teams, and municipal representatives aiming to improve project efficiency and reduce costly design conflicts. By bringing these key stakeholders together, the workshop fosters a more integrated approach to infrastructure development, ensuring that projects are designed with real-world constraints and constructability in mind.
