This On Demand CEU is a recorded presentation from a previously live webinar event. Facade design is often the most complex aspect of a building project, requiring teams to balance client expectations, aesthetics, performance, regulatory requirements, budget, and schedule simultaneously. This course examines how prefabricated facade systems — integrating exterior finishes, insulation, framing, and pre-installed windows into a single coordinated assembly — can simplify this process while supporting the overall project vision. Participants will explore how this approach reduces design risk, accelerates construction schedules, and improves quality control through factory precision.

The course also addresses how prefabricated concrete facade systems contribute to occupant health, safety, and welfare through enhanced durability, fire and weather resistance, and reduced site hazards. Real-world case studies and a review of the Design Assist delivery model provide practical strategies for incorporating prefabricated facade systems effectively from early design through construction.

This On Demand CEU is a recorded presentation from a previously live webinar event. Total precast concrete systems bring structural and architectural components together into a unified, high-performance building solution that delivers durability, sustainability, and long-term value. This course introduces the full family of precast components used in total precast systems — including wall panels, hollowcore, double tees, columns, beams, shear walls, and stairs — and explores how they are designed, coordinated, and assembled to create resilient spaces that reduce jobsite risks, accelerate schedules, and enhance occupant well-being.

Participants will learn how total precast systems improve energy efficiency and minimize maintenance needs through components built for extended service life. Through system overviews, design best practices, and real-world applications across a range of project types, attendees will gain a comprehensive understanding of how precast is designed, detailed, and efficiently implemented into total precast solutions.
