Learn the engineer’s role in submittals and shop drawings, their purpose, and best practices in design and construction.
Understand the engineer’s responsibilities relative to submittals and shop drawings, and how they fit into the design and construction process. If you are a public or private owner, construction manager, contractor, subcontractor, consultant, architect or engineer, this live webinar will help you understand the purpose and intent of submittals and shop drawings, and how and where they fit into the design and construction process. With an emphasis on the recommended practices of the Construction Specification Institute (CSI), and contract language of the Engineers Joint Contract Document Committee (EJCDC), this live webinar presents the responsibilities of the engineer and contractor relative to submittals and shop drawings, with particular emphasis on the benefits and risks of the shop drawing and submittal process.
Learning Objectives
- You will be able to review risk and liabilities associated with submittals.
- You will be able to discuss other submittals.
- You will be able to identify contract language associated with submittals.
- You will be able to describe the purpose and intent of shop drawings and submittals.
Topic Content
Shop drawings are generally required for any prefabricated components being used in a construction project. They can include everything from cabinets and HVAC appliances to structural steel components. Because of this, knowing how to correctly read, use, draft and review shop drawings is an essential part of a project manager’s job. This webinar covers three main topics:
- What is a shop drawing? What is their purpose and when should they be used? How do they differ from other types of submittals?
- Who should be involved in drafting/reviewing shop drawings? What are the various responsibilities of contractors, architects and engineers during the review process?
- What are the risks and liabilities involved? How can you protect yourself from exposure when creating and reviewing shop drawings? What other legal considerations are required?
Program Delivery Options
Shop Drawings and other Construction Submittals: Legal and Engineering Perspectives is available as an OnDemand webinar containing a slideshow and prerecorded audio content. You can access it at any time, from any computer with a working Internet connection. You can also download this program as an MP3, or order a flash drive containing the audio files and associated reference materials.
