In this episode of Developing Designers, Jim sits down with EAPC’s Director of Design Process to talk about something every young designer eventually faces — the reality of construction.
From the “4-inch rule” to reviewing shop drawings that saved a project from a costly mistake, this conversation dives into:
Why constructability matters more than you think
The importance of documentation and note-taking
How to handle conflict on-site without guessing
What contractors actually respect in a designer
Why internships in construction can change your career
If you're early in your architecture or engineering career — or mentoring someone who is — this episode is packed with practical wisdom you can apply immediately.
