How to Predict, Avoid and Fix Problems: What Works and What Doesn’t
The Blueprint Conference, brought to you by Riess LeMieux, serves to provide insight into critical issues in the construction industry. This year’s panels will explore what works—and what doesn’t—when it comes to predicting, avoiding, and fixing problems. Hear from developers, contractors, designers, insurers, and attorneys as they share how they’re navigating risk, resolving misalignment, and overcoming real-world challenges on today’s complex projects.
The event also provides a unique opportunity to network and learn alongside industry professionals and executives. Continuing education credits for architects and engineers will be offered at The Blueprint Conference.
