HIGHLIGHTS

• Presented at the Arizona Structural Engineers Association (SEAoA) conference; personal follow-up discussions with numerous attendees were productive and well-received. Special thanks to Dawn Rogers at the Arizona Masonry Council for her coordination support in making this happen.
• Delivered a Block Learning Hub presentation on CMU crack control, contributing to the region's EDU contact hours for the month.
• AEC direct interactions for the month totaled 31 across 4 events and meetings, spanning both industry and AEC audiences to broaden awareness of BDC's service offerings.
• Assisted 6 projects through technical support and design assistance during the month.
• Currently developing a cost and speed presentation to highlight efficiencies and challenges that contractors experience during construction to make designers aware. If any investors or industry contacts are willing to jump on a call to share perspective or contractor-side insight, please reach out. That input would be valuable to making this resource as useful as possible.
