“Contractor-Ready Construction Documents—Part 2” Published In STRUCTURE Magazine

SDG Principal Jeremy Salmon P.E, S.E. and Associate Principal Zak Pruitt P.E., S.E. have published Part 2 of their article in the January 2026 issue of STRUCTURE magazine.

“Contractor-Ready Construction Documents—Part 2”  continues to explore a holistic approach to design decisions by including contractor input during early design phases.

Jeremy and Zak discuss how early contractor collaboration eliminates guesswork around contractor preferences and economical approaches while providing an early understanding of existing site and building conditions. They explain how this leads to a more optimized and cost-effective process, minimizing potential design and drawing changes after construction documents are issued.
