About This Program

This course discusses actual project scenarios where early collaborative steel joist and deck design have reduced total-project costs. In an era when incomplete structural drawings are a growing concern for our industry, the course reveals many of the hidden costs and risks that can be avoided when specifying structural steel joist and deck building systems.

Session Takeaways

• Understand the cost outcomes of incomplete drawings and the need for an efficient RFI process.
• Know how and where to improve project cost/performance through early steel joist and deck design collaboration.
• Know when to specify and integrate a “composite” roof and floor system to optimize project cost/performance.
• Know how BIM can improve project cost and performance.
