Delegated Design
Deferred/Delegated/Assigned Design Practices Good, Bad or Ugly it is a Concept that Requires Discussion
The presentation will cover: The words ‘delegated design’ have become a trend within document preparation and contract delivery. It is a concept that has been around for decades and used successfully to address design solutions that cannot be finalized during the production of construction drawings and specifications. More recently ‘delegated design’ has contributed to a decline in the quality of construction documentation and fears of unreasonable transference of design responsibility and liability between the various contributors providing engineered solutions. The discussion will address the history of deferred design, the participants and contributors, methods for obtaining design solutions and realigning the chain of responsibility to reduce concerns surrounding design liability. The presentation will also provide insight into actions being undertaken by various professional associations and technical document publishers. Speaker Keith Robinson, FCSC, FCSI, RSW, LEED® AP Keith has worked as a specification writer since 1982 and is an associate at Dialog in Edmonton, AB, responsible for research and development of technical specification content. His range of experience includes contract administration, building envelope detailing, and writing construction specifications. In addition to working on projects across Canada and in Egypt, Japan, and Costa Rica, Robinson also instructs courses for the University of Alberta, acts as advisor to several construction associations and building trades committees, sits on several standards review committees for ASTM and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and is the Registrar for CSC's Board of Directors.
