28 Pre-Con Meeting Planning Starts in the project manual By specifying a building enclosure pre-construction meeting, the construction team is presented with an opportunity to walk through the project with the design team and the owner. Pre-Design Phase Design Phase Pre- Construction Phase Construction Phase Occupancy Phase

32 14 page specification

33 Related Specifications The Quality Requirements specification should note the following under Part 1 under the Related Documents: Division 03 through 14 Sections for building envelope work required in each Section Also, each section should specify that the installer be present and participate in the pre-construction and preinstallation meetings.

34 Reducing RFI s Experience has shown us that when preconstruction meetings conducted on projects, a reduction in RFI s is realized.

35 Completeness of Submittals Completeness of the building enclosure in the submittal process by requiring the preconstruction meeting occur prior to submittal of product data sheets and shop drawings. If you do not specify it, it will not happen!

36 Pre-Construction Meeting Construction Team Q/C Opportunity Building Enclosure Pre-Construction meeting should be conducted prior to the preparation of product submittal and shop drawings. Pre-Design Phase Design Phase Pre- Construction Phase Construction Phase Occupancy Phase

37 Team Buy-in and Ownership Contractors and trades have an opportunity to provide input and become empowered by having a voice, resulting in project Ownership.

38 What should be covered? Define the project team responsibilities GC and Trades to discuss envelope details to identify the by others Discuss sequencing Compatibility concerns Discuss inspections Cover testing requirements

39 Enclosure Construction Team Owner The Owner representative Design Team Architect/Engineers/Consultants involved in the design of the enclosure Contractor General Contractor s Project Manager and Project Superintendents Subcontractors Concrete Foreman, Carpenter Lead, Weatherproofing Installer, Roofing Lead, Mason Lead, Metal Panel Installer, Glazer Lead, Door Installer, and any trade who constructs or penetrates the building envelope. Manufacturer Rep The product representative of enclosure components.

40 Why all these trades? Any penetration through the control layers becomes a weak point in the enclosure.

51 Why should architects care? This process will minimize their risks and it will allow the opportunity to discuss details that may no have been included in the construction drawings. If you specify it, make sure it happens!

52 Architect s Role

53 Architect s Role Budget time to attend and participate in the Pre- Construction Meeting Empowerment and opportunity to address construction concerns early on when changes can be made on paper rather than when the construction is in progress Provide clarification on building enclosure transition and penetration details to ensure that the owner truly gets the building performance he or she expects and paid for Ultimately provide the Owner with a functional, durable, efficient building which is constructible and sustainable

54

55

56 Contractor s Role

57 Contractor s Role To interpret the construction documents and coordinate the subcontractors/trades to do the installation Project Management Construction contract administration, contractor project manager, site coordinator, and phasing schedule coordinator Architectural and engineering understanding Understand the role of each construction participant and be sensitive to the expectations each participant has of the other trades Environmental, Safety, and Health Oversight Facility Operation, Maintenance, and Surveillance Quality Assurance Communicator

58

59 Subcontractor s Role Get in, get out, get paid, and make it to the end of their 1 yr. warranty?

60 Subcontractor s Role The subcontractor is the trade expert providing the labor to perform the work and provide the installation warranty. Typically the contractors are certified by the manufacturers as a qualified installer. When certified as specialist in the trade, they understand the requirements of the manufacturer for installation and means of construction which are acceptable by their selected manufacturer. As the trade specialist, they should take ownership of the installation and offer feedback to the contractor on scheduling, compatibility, and construction requirements.

64 All Fun Aside General Contractors, Subcontractors and Manufacturers are great resources!
