On Thursday, October 9, Susany will present with Chris Hermreck, P.E., Project Manager from Portland-based SSOE partner JE Dunn Construction, the 11th largest general contracting company in the United States. “A Lean Journey: Three Project Teams Share Their Project Approach” will feature the successful collaborative design approach conceived and implemented by SSOE and JE Dunn.

Hailed for innovation in project delivery, SSOE and JE Dunn have implemented their lean strategies at three confidential western U.S. semiconductor facilities.

“This presentation,” says Susany, “will highlight how our project teams have put lean techniques such as intensive up-front collaboration and streamlined building information modeling (BIM) to work in the field.” Adds Hermreck, “This joint venture has paved the way for future collaboration and informs additional advances in lean building techniques.”

The LCI Congress is the premier annual gathering for the lean design and construction community. It draws engineers and construction professionals from around the country who are driving the next generation of lean processes into their projects and organizations. The conference helps companies deliver better project outcomes in less time and at lower cost, all the while increasing owner and team satisfaction.
