SUMMARY:Simple IDP: Easy steps to an Integrated Design Process - Invermere
DESCRIPTION:Renovators often face delays and rework that could have been avoided with the right planning. That’s what an Integrated Design Process (IDP) is all about. Learn how to identify issues early\, improve coordination\, and make informed decisions that save time and money throughout the project lifecycle. IDP can also help identify opportunities to build higher performing homes. \nWhat you’ll learn\n\nPractical strategies for improving collaboration across project teams.\nHow early decision-making can improve project performance and value.\nHow to apply IDP concepts through an interactive case study exercise.\nInsights from real-world implementation and lessons learned.\n\nWho should attend?\nAll are welcome at this in-person workshop. It will be highly valuable to: \n\nContractors\, renovators\, new home builders\, trades\nArchitects\, designers\, engineers\, and energy advisors\nEducators and training organizations\nLocal government and Indigenous community staff involved in planning\, permitting\, construction\, climate action\, sustainability\, and economic development\nOthers interested in delivering higher-performing projects through better collaboration\, risk management\, and integrated planning\n\nContinuing Professional Development Points\nThis event is pending approval for Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Point through BC Housing. \nNotes\n\nBreakfast is included!\nIf travel or ticket costs are a barrier\, please reach out to CEA.\nWe’ll also be in Fernie on October 29. Follow this link to learn more and to register.

SUMMARY:Jumpstart Integrated Design Process for Retrofits
DESCRIPTION:In this free webinar\, learn how renovators can improve project delivery and building performance with the new Retrofit Jumpstart IDP Guide. \n\n\n\n\nAbout the event\nFrom the creator of the new Retrofit Jumpstart IDP Guide\, learn how Integrated Design Process can help renovators deliver better projects on time and on budget. \nRenovators often face delays and rework that could have been avoided with the right planning. That’s what an Integrated Design Process (IDP) is all about. Meredith Hamstead of thinkBright Homes will share their experience using IDP in the real world. She will share how IDP helps her identify issues early\, improve coordination\, and make informed decisions that save time and money throughout the project lifecycle. \nIt will also be your first opportunity to see the Retrofit Jumpstart IDP Guide. Meredith will share how it is intended to support industry professionals and can answer questions about the resource. \nWhat you’ll learn\n\nHow IDP can reduce project risk and avoid costly mistakes.\nPractical strategies for improving collaboration across project teams.\nHow early decision-making can improve project performance and value.\nInsights from real-world implementation and lessons learned.\n\nWho should attend?\nAll are welcome at this online webinar. It will be most valuable to: \n\nContractors\, Renovators\, New Home Builders\, Trades\,\nArchitects\, Designers\, Engineers\, and Energy Advisors\nEducators and training organizations\nLocal government and Indigenous community staff involved in planning\, permitting\, construction\, climate action\, sustainability\, and economic development\nOthers interested in delivering higher-performing projects through better collaboration\, risk management\, and integrated planning.\n\nContinuing Professional Development Points\nThis event is pending approval for Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Point through BC Housing. \nNotes\nEvent is free of charge\, but you must register. \nIf you can’t attend the webinar—no problem! We’ll provide the slide deck and a link to the recording to all those who have registered.
