Seminars
Thursday 30th July 2026
Using Early Feasibility Studies & Upfront Design Decisions to Validate Infrastructure Choices & Preserve Flexibility Under Uncertainty
10:50 am
- Aligning end users, architects, engineers, and builders around shared density assumptions and delivery constraints enabling faster front-end decision-making and reducing late-stage redesign
- Designing adaptable power, cooling, and structural frameworks allowing evolving density and technology requirements to be absorbed without rework or capacity loss
- Assessing emerging power supply and infrastructure technologies at the front-end improving feasibility clarity and reducing the risk of stranded or incompatible systems
Thursday 30th July 2026
Panel Discussion: Exploring Early Design Engagement & Evolving Delivery Models to Improve Collaboration & Reduce Delivery Risk
10:20 am
- Engaging architects, engineers, contractors, and key end users earlier in the project lifecycle to surface constraints sooner and reduce downstream coordination risk
- Evaluating design-build and integrated delivery models to accelerate decision-making and improve accountability between design and construction teams
- Structuring contracts, incentives, and risk allocation to support early collaboration and reduce cost and schedule exposure as scope evolves
