AIA Kansas City: The American Institute of Architects

Steve Frykholm will have worked at Herman Miller for forty years. He’s learned a thing or two during that time, as a designer, creative director, and advisor while working on Herman Miller’s award-winning annual reports, product brochures, posters, catalogs, publications, ads, websites, and videos. In the spirit of the late Gordon McKenzie, audiences at this presentation will select what stories they’d like to listen to and see examples from a wide and varied body of work. Please feel free to bring your own lunch to this brown-bag lunch presentation.

2010 Estimating Academy, sponsored by The Builders’ Association and the Associated Society of Professional Estimators, will be held Friday, February 5, 2010.

This is the 8th year for the Academy and it will again be a full day of seminars presented by local industry professionals. The relevant topics are intended to educate and improve the estimating and bidding process across the entire design and construction industry. The selection of topics will provide information useful for designers and design estimators, pre-construction estimators, general contractors, and sub-contractors, as well as suppliers and students.

The day will begin with a short general session presentation by Rich Pennick, Vice President of Estimating with JE Dunn Construction Co. The remainder of the day is broken into 4- 1 ½ hour sessions. Each attendee will have the opportunity to select from 3 topics in each session.

The Estimating Academy has been approved for 4 hours of non-code credit for the Johnson County Contractor Licensing program. The session offered by Dirk McClure with IPC Precast is also approved for one AIA credit (SD).
