Lesson Learned/Best Practice
Starting the project with A/E/GC on board and interviewing major trades as a team seemed to work very well in terms of entire team buy-in and creating collaborative culture on a Early Design Involvement (EDI) project.
Bring on Steel and Exterior Skin earlier; Elevators early was a big win; Ptube was unnecessary to bring on early; evaluate the p-tube system early to determine extent of EDI involvement needed
Suggested Actions for Future Projects
Mid-SD/end of SD seems like the optimal time to get trade partners on board to get maximum input and not waste time; Replicate this approach in the future
