As building designs grow more ambitious with complex geometries, specialty materials, and high-pressure timelines, architects and designers are increasingly seeking the help of trusted engineers, contractors, and fabrication partners who can provide expert guidance on constructability and costs.

That’s what led architects and designers at Perkins&Will to create Dynamic Design and Feasibility Workflow with the designers, engineers and installation specialists at Zahner.

Nick Cameron, Director of Digital Practice for Perkins&Will, and Ryan Sutton, Chief Marketing Officer for Zahner, discuss the pitfalls of designing without cost and constructibility feedback from fabricators. They also talk through the upside of making sure that everyone’s on the same page as early as possible in the design process.

Highlights of the conversation included:

• The case for collaboration and how it can change design and delivery methods, and create a competitive advantage;
• The foundational elements of digital workflows; and
• The benefits of this new workflow such as design productivity, fidelity and excellence.
