11:30am-1:00 pm

Save the date!  A crowd favorite returns to ASHRAE!

PPRBD will present their annual round table discussion at Pikes Peak ASHRAE on Nov 10.  This will be an opportunity to hear about how to best navigate PPRBD under COVID conditions, and you could probably talk them into answering your questions about any code topics or plan review best practices that interest you.  While our guest speakers will appear via Teams, this will be a live discussion and they will be available for Q&A.

Please see the attached flyer for more details, but here are a few nuggets:

11:30a – arrival, nametags, food is available; can jump in via Teams for virtual attendees

11:45a – announcements and welcome

11:55a – start presentation by our featured speakers, virtually via Teams (Teams invite will be sent separately, soon)

1:00p – dismiss

We are looking forward to getting together.

Please RSVP prior to the deadline, or you may go hungry!

Our yearly golf event that we would normally hold in September, has officially been postponed until the Spring.  We are now targeting Friday, May 21, 2021.  With all of the virus issues and from the results from our survey, this just seemed like the wisest course of action.  We do look forward to putting together a great event in May, so please mark your calendars for this outing!

Claims have long been identified as one the most significant issues that face contractors, owners and architect/engineers alike. Invariably, claims create an adverse environment that often prevents long-term relationships, the foundation of a strong company. This presentation investigates the common causes of claims and then builds on that knowledge to generate common sense strategies to avoid claims and manage risk.
