As project delivery methods, material expectations, and documentation requirements continue to evolve, stronger alignment between design teams and millwork manufacturers has become increasingly important to successful project outcomes.

At this year's AWMAC National Convention, Senior Associate Dan Gallivan will present the session "Bridging Design Intent & Millwork Execution: Improving Alignment Across the Project Lifecycle." This presentation will explore the common disconnects that surface between design intent, technical specifications, industry standards, documentation, and field execution. Drawing on project experience—including Ādisōke and the Cameron Community Centre and Library among other projects—Dan will examine how improved communication, better integration of industry standards, and a more collaborative approach across the project lifecycle can help reduce friction and improve coordination for all parties involved.

The Architectural Woodwork Manufacturers Association of Canada (AWMAC) National Convention brings together manufacturers, suppliers, and partners from across the country to share ideas, strengthen relationships, and explore the opportunities shaping the future of the industry.
