Overview: The construction industry remains one of the last to experience significant process improvement as a result of the economic, legal, operational, technical, and environmental influence affecting our global economy. As leaders in the industry it is imperative that our teams examine the policies, processes and technologies that have revolutionized the manufacturing industry in order to reduce risk, waste, and energy consumption, while improving quality, safety, and speed to completion.

We would like to introduce Pivotek and give your team a brief presentation on:
* How design technologies can reduce waste and energy consumption
* How early collaboration improves coordination and speed of completion
* How prefabrication reallocates manpower and reduces safety claims
* How prefabrication assures compliance and improves quality
UK College of Design Student Review in Louisville - TODAY!!

This semester I am teaching a third year design studio at the UK College of Design where we have used the Kentucky Museum of Art & Craft as our site/project.  We are having the final review at the Urban Design Studio at 507 South Third Street from 2pm-6pm (Wednesday, April 29).  The project will be introduced at 2pm and then visitors and critics will have the chance to mingle with students and talk about their work individually or in small groups.

 

If you are able to stop by any time between 2pm-6pm to take a look at the work and give students any input that would be fantastic.  I'm sure the students could benefit from your point of view. 

 

This will be a casual affair.  We will not be doing a jury in the traditional sense but rather an exhibition style presentation so the students can speak one on one with several people from different backgrounds.  It's perfectly great to talk for three hours or zip through in 15 minutes!

 

I hope to see you TODAY if your schedule permits!
