Day Two

• Defining clear sustainability specifications that can be executed at project level
• Aligning contractors and suppliers on measurable targets and responsibilities
• Integrating sustainability into procurement and delivery without slowing progress
• Ensuring accountability mechanisms translate strategy into real outcomes

• Evaluating owner-direct early works versus GC-managed civil works to identify risks and limitations of each delivery model
• Clarifying "pad-ready" requirements to reduce rejected turnovers and prevent delays to vertical construction
• Establishing clear handoff protocols through defined control transfer, acceptance criteria and contract language to improve coordination under either model

• Finding efficient strategies for forecasting total resource demand across labor, materials, and equipment to avoid overcommitment
• Scaling workforce strategically to meet project demands without compromising quality or safety
• Building more resilient trade contractor networks to support large-scale and overlapping project schedules

• Understanding how late changes and incomplete information from trade partners disrupt schedules and critical path activities
• Clarifying ownership of scope and decision-making across owners, GCs, and contractors
• Improving communication between teams to prevent stacked trades, blocked work areas, and delivery conflicts
• Exploring how leading owners are increasing involvement to drive alignment across teams, schedules, and execution

Please make your way to Track 1, 2, 3 or Track 5 to continue your conference journey.

• Defining what owners need from BIM models to support operations long after construction is complete
• Building the foundation for future digital twins through consistent data, asset information, and modeling standards
• Delivering accurate asset information at handover to support smoother facility management and maintenance
• Preparing architects, contractors, and trade partners for evolving owner requirements through standardized workflows and ISO 19650-aligned processes

• Identifying early warning signs in geotechnical reports across Eastern markets that signal the need for ground improvements
• Evaluating how regional constraints like wetlands, floodplains, and brownfield sites impact foundation design, buildability, and schedule risk
• Managing how complex ground conditions influence key design decisions, including shallow vs deep foundations and single vs multi-story builds
• Avoiding late-stage surprises by strengthening upfront site investigations and aligning hyperscalers, colocators, geotech consultants, and contractors early

Please make your way to Track 1, 2, 3 or Track 5 to continue your conference journey.

• Understanding where coordination breaks down between external infrastructure (e.g. medium/high voltage, duct banks, substations) and internal building systems
• Exploring how late changes to external designs (e.g. cable routing, capacity) impact completed or ongoing internal works
• Identifying challenges in coordinating across multiple contractors who have separate scopes but shared dependencies
• Assessing how communication gaps and unclear ownership at these interfaces increase delivery risk and safety concerns

• Understanding how strict cleanliness requirements impact commissioning timelines and increase the risk of delays
• Exploring the challenges of simulating real operating conditions (e.g. rack loads and flow rates) during system commissioning
• Examining how mechanical design is adapting to meet stricter water quality requirements, including filtration, materials, and system layout

• Examining why controls integration becomes a critical gating item before L4/L5 commissioning and how unresolved upstream issues create downstream delays
• Exploring how offsite simulation, PITCO processes, modular testing and pre-validation of sequences of operation can reduce late-stage commissioning risk
• Walking through how controls teams coordinate across mechanical, electrical and owner programming stakeholders to enable smoother system integration onsite
