SUMMARY:2025 December Monthly Meeting
DESCRIPTION:How Deferred Submittals / Delegated Design has evolved for high-rise construction \nPresented: Terrence McDonnell\,  PE\, SE\, PEng\, SECB.  Principal\,  CTL GROUP\nDaniel A. Dorfman\, Partner\, Chair\, Fox Swibel Levin & Carroll\, LLP \nHigh-rise buildings are filled with various design professionals at multiple stages.   For the design team\, but what about the design professionals on the contractor’s team?  Of course\, we are speaking about DELEGATED DESIGN. \nAccording to some legal experts “Design Delegation is the assignment of responsibility\, by the provision of performance criteria\, for the design of a discrete portion of a construction project by the licensed\, professional “Design Team of Record” (the “Delegator”)\, typically through a construction manager or general contractor which is not a licensed design professional\, to a specialty contractor (the “Delegatee”)” \nHow this work is accomplished in practice with regularity from one project to another is worth discussing\, as the authors have noticed a wide variation in the actual practice of specifying and delivering delegated design. \nThe City of Chicago has also taken note of this.  In 2023\, the City of Chicago reached out to SEAOI (The Structural Engineers Association of Illinois) in an attempt to guide Architect\, Engineers\, Developers\, and Building Owners\, for a more consistent expectation of the deferred submittal  / delegated design process within the city of Chicago. \nExamples within high-rise design include\, but are not limited to; \n\nCurtain wall systems.\nStructural steel connections.\nArtwork that has not been developed sufficiently to document in the permit submission.\nGlass handrails or cable handrails not fully developed in the permit submission.\nMechanical floor level distribution systems.\nTimber trusses.\n\nThis presentation will review excerpts from various building codes\, AIA contracts\, project examples\, and other relevant materials to provide background on the information available to design professionals\, contractors\, and building owners.  There is more information available than many realize. \nIn addition\, we will review a “DRAFT” document created by the joint committee of the City of Chicago and SEAOI\, whose purpose is to clarify the roles and responsibilities that the City of Chicago expects within a deferred submittal / delegated design process.   We will review the three possible means by which a deferred submittal may be processed.  Finally\, we will facilitate an interactive discussion on the topic of deferred submittals and delegated design with the audience members. \nAbout the Presenters: \nTerry R.
