The future of shop drawings

Well here it is, the electrical shop drawings for a 11 story office tower. The day James Brew has been predicting for many years is here in our market, but driven by the contractors not by the architects and design profession. The project is 8200 Normandale, developed by United Properties in Bloomington, MN and a Pre-certified Gold LEED-CS project . Adophson & Peterson are the Construction Managers and we (LHB) are the LEED consultants. This sort of project is not one that we usually work on so it's been interesting to watch the process and interaction between players. LEED is important as a differentiator in a tight market and will make this project more profitable due to the quicker leasing and completion of the project.
