MEMBERS IN THE NEWS

AGC MA Announces 2 New Committees!

AGC MA welcomes two new committees working to help shape the agenda of the industry. 

The Women for Construction Excellence Committee (WCE) will look to leverage  the Construction Industry network to support and empower women to excel in the management and networking potential of their careers, share personal stories and feedback relative to mutual experiences through programs, networking and thought provoking content. 

The Virtual Design Commitee (VDC)  is a group of professionals in the industry that work together to advance the use of technology in the construction process. The VDC is d ivided into two sub-committees: 

The Education Sub-committee:
  Will study and recommend the best way for the group to educate the industry about VDC, addressing the multiple levels of education (basic to advanced) and across participants (Subs, GCs, Designers, Owners, & Academia)

Will focus primarily on "Handoff Checklists" looking at the needs based on multiple delivery methods.  The sub-committee will also look at the lifecycle of the model to determine some best practices (QA/QC, contracts, owner buy-in, early involvement, etc).  
Thank you to all of our committee members both past and present for your continued support in the commitment to Building Excellence in Massachusetts!
