Upcoming Workshops

Achieving Passive House (PH) certification at any scale is the result of careful design and execution. As multifamily PH projects increase in size and complexity, it is critical to manage the integrated design process (IDP). Common pitfalls can be avoided with strategic advanced planning and by reducing change orders and frustration during construction. Collaboration among the project team should occur at critical design milestones from feasibility to 100% construction documents (CDs), with careful consideration for field execution.

TUESDAY, May 14, 2019, 8:30 AM - 10:30 AM UNIVERSITY OF HARTFORD - 1877 CLUB 200 BLOOMFIELD AVENUE, HARTFORD, CT CI MEMBERS: $65 / NON-MEMBERS: $90

Do you want to win more jobs? Are you the owner of a small firm wishing you had a marketing department to handle requests for proposals (RFPs) or requests for qualifications (RFQs)?

Is your technical staff still trying to understand what your marketing team is asking them to write in response?

We all know it's vital for an organization to answer RFP/RFQs to stay in business, but here is the thing… it doesn’t have to be so painful! In this workshop, you will learn what Marketing and Technical Leaders know about successfully responding to RFP/RFQs and how to do it for yourself!
