Orange cones have become symbolic of a very real problem: a negative perception of the omnipresence of construction sites creating traffic, nuisance and loss of income. Rightly or wrongly, real solutions exist to not only change this perspective, but actually improve the state of things. And it all starts with architects, who have a duty to include contractors at the design table in order to develop a well-organized, coordinated project that is mindful of public space. From the application of advanced construction technologies to well-calculated pre-project logistics, solutions exist. You just have to be part of it.
Recognize the importance of including general contractors in their preliminary designs, to deliver quality projects that meet their clients' expectations.
Discuss the consequences of a poorly organized and coordinated worksite on their reputation, their project, their client and the public.
Demonstrate the colossal impact that the application of advanced construction technologies and well-calculated pre-project logistics can have on a project.
Demonstrate the benefits of integrated design with all the players involved, including general contractors.
