🎤 Networking & Featured Session: Navigating Today?s Project Delivery Landscape
Jennifer Bassett-Hales
Vice President, Jacobs | Chair, ACEC Washington
What delivery model best positions your firm for success?
In this dynamic session, Jennifer Bassett-Hales breaks down the realities behind today?s most widely used collaborative delivery models: Design-Build, Progressive Design-Build, and GC/CM.
Drawing on experience from more than 20 major infrastructure programs across the Pacific Northwest, she?ll move beyond theory and into what actually matters for engineering firms:
-
Where risk really shifts ? and how to prepare for it
-
How budgeting and contract strategy differ by model
-
What changes in owner?contractor?consultant relationship dynamics
-
And how to strengthen your position in collaborative environments
You?ll also take part in a fast-paced, interactive discussion exploring real lessons learned from complex Puget Sound projects.
If your firm is pursuing ? or currently working within ? alternative delivery, this session will sharpen your strategic lens.
