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.

Speaker:

Phil Diekemper is the Executive Director of PRO: An ACI Center of Excellence for Advancing Productivity. He is formally trained as a Structural Civil Engineer and holds an MBA that strengthens his business focused approach to the construction industry. Prior to joining PRO, Phil worked for Ceco managing concrete construction operations all over the US. After more than 40 years with the company, he retired in 2022 as Senior Vice President and established PD Advisory to support growing consulting requests.
