AIA San Francisco is excited to announce a new series of lunchtime Project Delivery Salons, to kick off our initiative to build a local chapter AIASF Project Delivery Knowledge Community.

Project Delivery plays a key role in the design and documentation process — it is the translation of the design ideas into documents that can be communicated to consultant team members, that can be bid by contractors and that form the legal contract documents for the contracts with owners and builders.

The Salon series will explore Architect/Owner/Contractor experiences as well as ideas and future visions for the way we deliver projects.

Project Delivery Salon #2 – Progressive Design Build at San Francisco International Airport

In the second session of our Project Delivery Series, we will be exploring Progressive Design Build, an alternative delivery method that is increasing in popularity with owners.

For architects and design consultants, Progressive Design Build brings some fundamental shifts in contractual relationships between owners and contractors. It offers great opportunity for collaboration and for an aligned design and preconstruction workflow. It can also bring challenges in understanding roles and responsibilities and in communication flow between all parties.

San Francisco International Airport (SFO) has been a leader in the implementation of Progressive Design Build. All recent projects, be it Terminal 2, Terminal 3 Boarding Area E, the Harvey Milk Terminal, Long Term Parking, and many more, have been delivered using this approach.

Come and join us for an in-depth discussion about Progressive Design Build at SFO. Our panelists look forward to sharing their experience and answer your questions.

Learning Objectives (1.5 LUs)

1. Describe Progressive Design Build as an alternative project delivery method, including opportunities for collaboration between Architects, Engineers, the Design Builder and Core Subcontractors. The panelists will share their experience of working together throughout all design and construction phases of their projects as an integrated team
2. Compare Progressive Design Build to other project delivery methods such as traditional Design Bid Build, or CM/GC. The panelists will provide their experience in the various delivery methods and offer opportunity to explore these with the audience.
3. The panel will identify challenges of the Progressive Design Build delivery method. Especially for teams that have no or little design build experience, the idea of working for a Contractor as client and to not have direct access to the client as decision maker can be challenging. The panelists will identify and review some of these challenges and answer questions about how they may be overcome, and what to look for to create a successful project
4. The audience will be able to use the information provided in the discussion and apply this to their own future Progressive Design Build project teams.
