MINI SESSION: Constructability Challenges for Architectural and Decorative Concrete

Tuesday, October 28, 2025  3:00 PM - 4:00 PM, H - Key ballroom 9 & 10

This mini session is a recurring event focused on the latest developments, case studies, and lessons learned in concrete constructability. Arguably, constructability is one of the most overlooked components of concrete project design and planning. Yet, if not properly addressed, it can result in a variety of issues during the construction phase of the project, including negative impacts on the project schedule and budget. Often, the devil lies in the details when it comes to constructible projects. This session will aim at discussing a variety of constructability-related topics that will be based on real-world experience and case studies.

Learning Objectives:
(1) Recognize recent developments in the area of concrete constructability as it relates to architectural and decorative concrete;
(2) Describe frequent issues occurring on concrete projects that negatively impact constructability, schedules and project budgets;
(3) Identify potential constructability pain points and acquire proven strategies to prevent them from occurring;
(4) Discuss the design behind complicated project elements and alternative methods to construct them.

This session has been approved by AIA and ICC for 1 PDH (0.1 CEU). Please note: You must attend the live session for the entire duration to receive credit. On-demand sessions do not qualify for PDH/CEU credit.
