Dear Colleagues:
On behalf of the Capital Projects Symposium Conference Committee, your
host South Central Texas Chapter, and the entire CM/PM community of
Texas, we are delighted to welcome CMAA’s first visit to the capital of the
Lone Star State!
Once you have experienced the excitement and appeals of Austin, we’re
confident you will want to return soon, whether for business or pleasure.
Our business, over the next three days, is a value-packed and rewarding
Capital Projects Symposium.
We’ll explore how well-planned and well-funded infrastructure investment
goes hand in hand with prosperity, and look at the future of high speed rail
in Texas. The commissioner of the Public Buildings Service, U.S. General
Services Administration, will update us on GSA’s latest initiatives and the
agency’s $10 billion capital budget for FY 2016.
Millennials will make up half our workforce by 2020. How can the CM
industry attract, engage, and retain these vital workers? What does
the near future hold for the crucial (and technologically trailblazing)
healthcare sector? What does Texas plan to do with the largest increase in
infrastructure funding in the state’s history?
Among our 25 educational sessions you’ll find opportunities to learn about
lean processes, BIM, modularization, safety management, and more.
Plus…plenty of opportunities to enjoy your colleagues’ company and our
exciting city!
Have a great Capital Projects Symposium!

find alternate ways to lead effectively. Using CMAA’s Standards
of Practice and CCM training as guides, this session will show
actions that CMs can take to enhance their leadership skills.

Stop Getting Delayed by Utility Relocations
Room 406 | 2:00 - 3:00 pm
Nearly half of all road and bridge project delays are caused by
the need to relocate utilities. Unfortunately, state transportation
agencies can do little to speed up the utility relocation process
once a need for relocation is discovered. The Massachusetts
Department of Transportation’s Highway Division, however, has
found a way to circumvent these complications and avoid utility
relocation delays. This session will describe the MassDOT’s
system and how it can be used by all project managers working
on roads and bridges.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
•
•
•
•
Understand how to plan utility coordination with contractor
operations earlier and better
Learn how to evaluate the effectiveness of performance
based agreements
Learn about new tools designed to help manage contractual
expectations
Understand relevant aspects of your capital program

GSA’s Collaborative Approach to >$5 Billion
in ARRA Projects
Room 406 | 9:30 –10:30 am
The General Services Administration (GSA) managed a budget
exceeding $5 billion for 260 projects nationwide under the
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009, far
greater than their typical project activity. Taking advantage of
this unique opportunity, GSA conducted two major studies
about processes and outcomes during ARRA, including how
interdisciplinary teams collaborated to meet challenging
programs, budgets and schedules. Some buildings achieved
exemplary energy performance, including the first net-zero
building on the historic registry. This presentation will highlight
how the ARRA goals translated to team culture and alignment to
deliver results.

Improving the Effectiveness of Lean Behavior
Through Visual Management
Salon D | 9:30 –10:30 am
Energy Efficiency in New Construction and
Major Renovations
Salon E | HSW | 9:30 –10:30 am
Visual management is an important, but often overlooked
Lean construction practice. It allows CMs to quickly identify
abnormalities, track status in real-time, create alignment and
speed up the process. Without a visual management strategy
in place, communicating critical project information becomes
more difficult. Visual management is crucial for identifying the
quality of a project’s performance and then communicating that
information to stakeholders and team members. This session will
explore the benefits of, and strategies for, implementing visual
management techniques.
Energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies are
continually changing. As sustainability becomes a more
prominent concern for owners, it is important for CMs to stay upto-date on all of the new eco-friendly technologies. This session
will provide an overview of the latest energy efficiency and
renewable energy technology being implemented in projects;
technology that CMs may themselves be asked to implement.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
•
•
•
•
•
Distinguish between types of visual systems: Visual Process
Adherence and Visual Process Performance
Understand how various visual tools and controls work
together
Understand how to use visual management as a cornerstone
of successful co-location, IPD and office performance
Understand the potential of visual management in
reinforcing its place as a pillar in creating more customer
value with fewer resources

CM Lessons Learned From Troubled Projects
Room 406 | 11:00 am – 12:00 pm
Preventing and turning around a troubled project are critical
skills that all seasoned CM professionals should understand.
This session features an attorney, a forensic construction
specialist and a CM specializing in the turnaround of troubled
projects. The panel will discuss the lessons they have learned
about preventing a project from falling apart and rescuing a

How Many Architects or Project Engineers
Does it Take to Print a Drawing?
Room 406 | 2:00 - 3:00 pm
The construction industry varies widely in its degree of tech
adoption. However, there is one electronic format that has
been universally adopted by the entire industry for more than
a decade: the portable document format (PDF). PDFs can
optimize data sharing capabilities and bring the industry closer
to universal BIM adoption. This session will demonstrate the key
steps that a project team can take to leverage the PDF file as a
way to ‘bridge the gap’ between paper and digital deliverables
on our path towards industry-wide BIM adoption.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
•
•
•
•
Learn how the PDF file format has evolved significantly in the
last decade, and is no longer considered a ‘path to paper’
Understand why the majority of design information consumers
(owners, contractors, subcontractors) prefer a static 2D drawing
set over an integrated 3D navigation model
Learn why the PDF file can help bridge adoption from paper
to BIM by facilitating as the ‘intuitive intermediary’
Understand why the standards for BIM (model origin
alignment, file naming convention) need to be applied to
the PDF drawing creation process

DOT Projects Benefit from CM Involvement in
Pre-Construction
Room 408 | 2:00 - 3:00 pm
CMs are traditionally brought onboard right before building
commences. However, the Pennsylvania Department of
Transportation innovated by bringing a CM team onboard in the
pre-construction phase of its ongoing multi-billion dollar roadway
refurbishment project. Doing so has had a noticeably positive
impact on the project’s progress. This session will discuss the
benefits of involving a CM in a project’s pre-construction phase.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
•
•
•
•
Demonstrate the leadership role a CM can play during the
pre-construction phase
Describe the benefits of utilizing a CM to provide value
engineering and constructibility review services early in the

Safety Leadership Using Risk Management
from the Owner & CM Perspective
Salon D | HSW | 2:00 - 3:00 pm
Two Insurance Policies That Every CM Should
Have (Liability and Errors Omissions Insurance)
Salon E | 2:00 - 3:00 pm
One of the CM’s primary responsibilities is to create a “safety
culture” within each project. This session will discuss how and

effective safety program using a risk management approach
for their Design-Bid-Build construction contracts. This session
will provide attendees with a better understanding of how to
evaluate project risk, and develop the project safety culture.
An unfortunate truth about joint projects is that everyone plays
nice until something goes wrong. This is especially true in the
capital construction industry. This session will explore general and
professional liability insurance policies and describe how owners,
developers and contractors, and their insurers, position themselves
in the insurance claims and litigation process. The session will
also cover Commercial General Liability and Errors & Omissions
insurance policies, and will explain why CMs need both.

Well-Structured Project Gating and Work
Breakdown Structures
Salon D | HSW | 10:15 - 11:15 am
Advanced Work Packaging (AWP):
New CII Best Practice
Salon E | 10:15 - 11:15 am
Work breakdown structures and project gating are not new
practices in construction management; however, the use of these
tools usually lacks the necessary understanding, structure, and
consistency to be fully effective. This Session aims to provide a
methodology for systematic development of project schedules
based on a structured approach that uses the project gating
process and work breakdown structures. This approach helps
construction management professionals to effectively use
project gating and work breakdown structures in the review,
approval, and monitoring of construction projects.
Advanced Work Packaging (AWP) is a planned, executable
process that encompasses the work on an EPC project,
beginning with initial planning and continuing through detailed
design and construction execution. This Construction Industry
Institute (CII) Best Practice, when implemented correctly and
consistently, improves field productivity and the predictability
of such key project metrics as schedule and cost. Teams
implementing AWP processes can expect improved field safety
and site cleanliness, better quality, and higher project team
morale along with a number of other ancillary benefits.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
•
•
•
•
Demonstrate key characteristics of product-based,
functional, and organizational breakdown structures as
building blocks of project schedules
