This panel explores the real-world coordination required to deliver a complex mass timber project, using Ullrhof in Aspen as a case study. Bringing together perspectives from the architect, structural engineer, and fabricator, the discussion will highlight where collaboration thrives (and friction points) across design, detailing, fabrication, and construction. Attendees will gain practical insights into aligning teams, avoiding common pitfalls, and turning coordination challenges into opportunities for efficient project outcomes.

Learning Objectives:

• Explore the real coordination demands of fast-tracked mass timber delivery (using the Ullrhof Restaurant as a case study) where design, engineering, and fabrication advanced in parallel rather than sequence.
• Dissect collaboration between Architect and Structural Engineer, including live coordination via Bluebeam Revu sessions and model management in Autodesk Construction Cloud.
• Analyze connection detailing and attachment strategies at the architect–engineer–fabricator interface, with a focus on ownership, tolerances, and fabrication-driven constraints.
• Evaluate how early fabrication input reshapes design, shifting decision-making upstream and redefining expectations for documentation completeness at each phase.
