SUMMARY:RESCHEDULED - VDC Execution for Design-Build - New Date: May 27\, 2026
DESCRIPTION:Important Update \nThis Event Has Been Rescheduled! \nPlease be advised this event originally scheduled for March 26\, 2026\, at Syska Hennessy has been rescheduled to Wednesday\, May 27th at HKS. \nLocation: HKS  \n30 W 26th St 12th floor \n(646) 480-4280 \nFor Registered Attendees: If you have already registered\, your spot is secured and your registration will remain valid for this rescheduled date. \nIf you have any questions or would like to request a refund\, don’t hesitate to contact Education@dbia.org. \n_______________________________________________________________________________________________ \nThe VDC Planning course is strongly recommended as a prerequisite for the VDC Execution course. The Planning course provides the foundational understanding of the VDC process needed to successfully implement the project goals established during planning and applied in the Execution course. \nBuilding on the foundation set in the Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) Planning course\, VDC Execution for Design-Build takes a deeper look into how Design-Build teams successfully implement their VDC Execution Plan in practice. Leveraging the collaborative nature of Design-Build\, this session explores how concepts like Level of Development (LOD) can clarify deliverable responsibilities and define the information Owners need post-construction. Participants will also review real-world VDC performance metrics and examine emerging technological trends shaping the future of collaborative delivery. While this course is geared toward VDC Professionals and those managing VDC implementation on their projects\, non-VDC Professionals are also encouraged to attend. (4 CEH) \nLearning Objectives: \n\nUnderstand keys to success for VDC Execution on Design-Build projects.\nDefine the Owner’s model and information needs – “Begin with the end in mind”\nDefine contract language and identify strategies to align designer and trade partners with VDC objectives.\nApply the LOD Specification to plan for project turnover across the Design-Construction-Operations continuum.\n\nFormat: In-Person \nIf you have any questions\, don’t hesitate to contact Education@dbia.org. \nLocation: HKS  \n30 W 26th St 12th floor \n(646) 480-4280 \nRegister Now
