The document discusses Construction Quality Management and ASCE Manual 73. It provides background on the development of the manual following structural failures in the 1980s. The objective of the manual is to promote quality in construction projects by providing guidance to owners, designers, and contractors on processes from project inception through operations and maintenance. The second edition added chapters on project delivery systems, computers and quality, partnering, and value engineering. A third edition is planned for July 2007 to fine tune the existing manual based on user input while maintaining its style and format.

Selling services can be tough! A less-than-compelling deliverable can cause permanent damage to the relationship between provider and customer. As those customers demand better quality at faster speeds and lower costs, Service providers need to strike a fine balance between the those three dimensions. Improving along one can’t come at the expense of the others.
During our March webinar hear from an Engineering and a Surveying service providers who are leveraging Building Information Modeling (BIM) and technology to improve the customer relationship across quality, speed and cost dimensions for scan-to-model projects. In doing so they’re increasing the value of their deliverable and their impact on the project delivery process. As a result, they’re delighting their customers and winning repeat business.
Take a trip into the field and hear experiences from two active projects. Attend the webinar and you’ll learn:
• The importance of ensuring highest levels of accuracy in a collaborative environment
• How industry peers are ensuring and benefiting from automated workflows
• Tips and tricks for increasing accuracy of BIM deliverables
• Best practice data processing and modeling tips to speed your back office workflow
Join laser scanning, modeling and BIM experts Daniel Niziolek of Ramboll UK and Les Carter of Cannon US share their experiences and best practices for capturing and accelerating scan-to-model workflows in case study format.

Strategies For A Meaningful Design Review by Tom AndersonCx Associates
Tom Anderson's presentation at the ASHRAE Winter 2012 Conference in Chicago, IL. Discover how the Design Review (DR) process can provide the building owner with significant value. Done well, a commissioning DR can help the team control construction costs while ensuring that building systems and equipment are optimized to meet the owner's needs. This presentation teaches viewers how to conduct meaningful design reviews to help the design team meet the Owner's Project Requirements. The presentation also addresses the financial benefits of DR, scheduling design review for maximum benefit, the mechanisms of the DR process, and presentation and communication strategies that enable the design team and owner to fully consider alternative approaches proposed in the DR process.

Housing Societies FAQ’s....
1. WHY DOES THE SOCIETY NEED a PMC consultant like CSR?
Every society has got their unique Civil repair problems, demanding very specific technical feasible solution. Therefore, Societies need to have technical assistance who has enormous experience in the Civil Engineering field. CSR comes in handy for drawing technical solutions.
2. WHY CANNOT THE CONTRACTORS DIRECTLY GIVE ESTIMATES & QUOTATIONS AS PER OBSERVATIONS?
Grabbing estimates and quotations from various contractors would be time consuming and tedious task while comparing. To get the competition on single platform, one needs to ink out basic fundamental requirements of the society that shall comprise External and Internal health of society. It may not be feasible to ask all the contractors to visit every single owners property. CSR Engineers can professionally assist you to develop a Technical Tender document as per your specific needs, for selection of right Contractor.
3. WHY CANNOT THE SOCIETY MEMBERS CAN SUPERVISE WORK IN PROGRESS ? :
Most of the members may be qualified in their respective fields. But do they have full time experience with the Civil repair industry? Are they aware of the Industry standards? Are they aware of the Civil Engineering methods? Can they devote time on daily basis? Are they equipped to face unforeseen circumstances?
4. WHAT IS THE BENEFIT OF APPOINTING CSR as project Management Consultant?
Being a professional third party, society members can be rest assured to have impartial decisions. A professional guidance can help avoid conflicts or show stoppers to get going.
5. BUT, Consultants like CSR Engineers SERVICES WILL JUST ADD TO THE COST?
Civil Structural audit Engineering companies like CSR Consultant and Associates; supports right from audit, budgeting with optional benefits, assist to freeze scope of work, tender preparation, tender issues, selection of contractor, progress of work, balance sheet of project and final closure report. Secondly, CSR services shall save ‘n’ times the total CSR’s service cost; inculcating technical knowledge, time track, minimizing of unnecessary work, justified usage of society fund and peace of mind.
6. BUT WHY ARE THESE CONSULTANCY SERVICES COSTING MORE THAN OTHERS?
Civil repairs are never done year after year. It demands efforts, dedication, technical team backups, focus and attention towards each projects undertaken and most important – the knowhow for economical methods. Professional services never come at cheap price. Structural audit with Project Management Consultancy (PMC) led by a team of professional engineers, ensure timely deliveries TO THE BEST OF THE ABILITIES.

Buildings use approximately 40% of the energy in the US. Buzzwords like “going green” and “energy efficient” are more prevalent today. LEED is a rating system, which provides designers the opportunity to tailor their design to reduce the impact on society and the surroundings. It is an integrated process involving the architect, landscape architect, civil engineer, MEP (mechanical, electrical and plumbing) consultant, lighting designer and contractor. As a design team these professionals evaluate energy trade offs within a conceptual design to create a functional building. This session will focus on LEED V4. It will target LEED’s definition, history and categories. More importantly, how to become a LEED accredited professional and LEED’s V4 holistic approach to building design.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

Designer-Constructor (Eastside LRT Constructors ): Alan Hodge, Quality Manager
An “aspirational” guide intended to be a “living” document.
Is not a technical standard or compilation of standard industry practices.
July 1981 114 killed and almost 200 more injured
1983: Engineering Foundation sponsored conference in Santa Barbara, California, on Building Structural Failures — Their Cause and Prevention. While the word "quality" was not in its title, this conference is often viewed as the turning point at which the construction industry began to seek improvement in the quality of its services.
Nov. 1984 -(ASCE) sponsored a Conference on Quality in the Constructed Project, in Chicago, with the objective of defining and clarifying quality in the construction process and who must do what to achieve it.
The conference's principal recommendation was "that ASCE produce and publish a Manual of Professional Practice for Quality in the Constructed Project.”
May 1988 – Preliminary Edition for Trial Use and Comment Published. 15,000 copies sold.
1990 – 1st Edition Published. 13,000 copies sold.
1997 – 2000: Review and publish 2d edition.
2000 – 2d Edition Published. 1,700 copies sold.
Quote from ASCE Manual 73, 2d Edition, Ex Sum page xv.
The Committee to Update Manual 73 worked with authors to produce four new or entirely rewritten chapters that address important industry changes during the decade from 1990 –2000.
Total of 25 chapters
There is a cost associated with incremental increases in quality.
The later the incremental increase the more it will cost.
The information contained in ASCE Manual 73, if followed, should minimize those costly surprises in the construction phase.
All decisions regarding quality of a project fall in one of the four boxes.
There is not a project where all decisions are in the desired “right” column.
Owners, designers and constructors all contribute to the “wrong” decisions.
This hypothetical distribution for a hypothetical project is probably close to a perfect project.
Avoidance of the disasters such as the 1983 Hyatt and others that have occurred since is enhanced by adherence to the principals contained in ASCE Manual 73.
