Designing for Efficiency: Concrete Constructability Resources for Designers

One of the most persistent bottlenecks in modern construction is the gap between design intent and jobsite productivity, often caused by a lack of accessible, practical constructability data for designers. To bridge this divide, PRO: An ACI Center of Excellence for Advancing Productivity was established to streamline concrete construction efficiency. This webinar outlines the core productivity challenges currently facing the industry, highlights the critical role designers play in optimizing field operations, and demonstrates how constructable design maximizes value for all project stakeholders. Attendees will be introduced to emerging knowledge resources built specifically for structural engineers and architects, leaving with actionable guidance on how to easily integrate these efficiency-boosting principles into their practice.
