APECx's "THE BIGGEST SECRETS OF THE DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY REVEALED" book and audible are now available on Amazon and at our online store.  The world of architecture and construction is rife with design flaws that are usually kept secret from building owners, owner representatives, procurement officers, and facility managers. The results are unplanned cost overruns, inaccurate cost estimates, design errors, added time, and reduced resources. A careful study of this book will reveal the inner workings of the design and construction industry. This will help you understand how construction projects are planned, frequent design flaws, and how to optimize contract documents. The principles in this book were distilled from years of experience and constant learning. They are specially curated to help the seasoned and non-trade professionals spot built-in problems and flaws that typically escape the untrained eyes.
