Public Bid Projects: Facility Design & Construction
There is a close relationship between the design and construction process in the site planning for a public facility. Design is the process of creating the description of the new facility and is represented in detailed plans and specifications. Construction makes the design a reality through the process of identifying required activities and resources, implementing the design created by the architect or engineer.

Join a few of our development professionals, Tim West, PLA, LEED AP, Eric Cannon, PE, and Clay Schneckloth, as they cover details on the design and construction process for a typical public bid project with an architectural component. They will also discuss tips for navigating the construction phase, as well as sharing sample building schedules for both six-month and 12-month projects.
