THUR-A10: Construction Confidential: A Frank Conversation About How Things Get Built

Thursday, September 17, 2026
8:30 AM - 9:45 AM PT
1.25 PDH, LA CES/HSW

Designers work with construction managers and contractors daily — but do we truly understand each other? Join us for a frank conversation on how construction managers and contractors approach their projects, manage risk and budgets, and why strong relationships among the project team are critical to successful outcomes.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Cultivate productive relationships among builders and designers to improve project outcomes.
  • Identify ways that construction managers and contractors identify and manage risk.
  • Identify ways that construction managers and contractors identify and manage budgets.
  • Identify ways that designers can assist the project team in delivering projects that are on time, on budget, and meeting project goals.
