THE WEEKLY SHOW HIGHLIGHTS FOR JANUARY 7, 2021
BD+C's Group Director Tony Mancini runs down the highlights from this week's show.
SEGMENT #1
Preconstruction boot camp
BD+C Executive Editor Rob Cassidy chats with Steve Wiley, SVP of Preconstruction at James McHugh Construction, about the role of preconstruction in creating successful multifamily housing and other building projects. Wiley discusses how to accurately determine the precise scope of work, how to eliminate risk, and how to construct a responsible budget based on giving the owner/developer a clear vision of the project, via a detailed interactive 3D model. Wiley also covers the importance of using design-build for the major components of a multifamily housing building -- the core and shell structure and the MEP systems -- which account for 50-70% of total costs.
SEGMENT #2
