Architectural, Engineering, & Construction (Virtual) Forum - 211012

Webinar

"An Introduction to the Process & Defining Features of the Integrated Project Delivery Model" presented by Jay R. Houghton, Senior Counsel at Seyfarth Shaw, LLP.

The PMI Atlanta AEC Forum is a focus group that hosts regular events with ranging topics in the architectural, engineering, and construction fields. We will show the importance of solid project management in these related fields of study.

Presentation Details

In the typical construction contracting arrangement, each project participant seeks to avoid and transfer risk to other participants. The Integraged Project Delivery approach employs a different philosophy—the project participants accept and manage design and construction risks as a team. The pure IPD method often does this with a single, multi-party contract that is executed by the owner, general contractor, and designer. My presentation will provide an introduction to this increasingly popular project delivery model, compare and contrast it to traditional construction contracts, discuss when one should consider using an IPD model, and provide an overview of the pre-construction contracting phase of an IPD project.

Due to coronavirus concerns, we will be hosting this event through webinar. Because of this change, member rate is now $8 and non-member rate is $10.

"Social Impact is all about change and at PMI, we enable changemakers, not just for business – but for the broader good. Many changemakers make long-term impacts in communities for years to come.” – L. Davidson.

PMI is an organization with a social conscience—as reflected by 30+ years of social impact through the PMI Educational Foundation and academic engagement. Now, as a new member of the United Nations Global Compact program, we are aligning with the U.N.’s Sustainable Development Goals, which combat poverty, hunger, inequalities and other societal ills.

As leaders, you are uniquely positioned to make a difference in the world too. Do you volunteer to help others? Would you like to get more involved in worthy causes? Your important work can contribute to PMI’s commitment to achieve 250,000 volunteer hours annually by 2025

PMI is dedicated to providing support, creating thought leadership and connecting like-minded individuals who champion social causes.

This month’s networking presentation discusses the important role project managers have in making social impact a reality. PMI Social Impact Manager Laura Davidson, a past PMI officer and change advocate, will lead the discussion. It promises to help you become more effective in bringing positive change.
