The presentation will show where and why design/build is being used and what market sectors are growing in its use. Also presented will be profiles of the types of engineers who are well suited for design work under this procurement method and how selection of a design/build team is typically done.

Liability issues and differences from “traditional” methods will be presented so that the audience will have a clear understanding of the potential pitfalls of entering into design/build contracts.

A word from the Resource Promotion's Chair:

The 13th Annual ASHRAE Gold Coast Chapter Golf Tournament to support ASHRAE Research was held on October 15th. The weather was cool and the morning’s rain cleared in time to provide sunny skies over the beautiful Jacaranda Country Club. If you were there you probably enjoyed yourself as much as most attendees and myself. I would first like to thank all those businesses and individuals who supported the event by either being a hole sponsor or playing golf. The Golf tournament was successful again this year as it raised $12,787.80 for ASHRAE Research. Special thanks goes out to Rick Ellison of Diversified Fluid Controls who organized the entire event, purchased hole sponsorships, entered foursomes in the tournament, and provided the services of two of his employees during the event. I would like to congratulate the winners of the tournament as well.
