Topic: Construction Principles for Tree Preservation: Integrating Plan Review Concepts
Description: This combined presentation offers an exploration of key construction principles aimed at understanding impacts to trees amidst development projects. Beginning with an overview of fundamental construction principles impacting trees, participants gain valuable insights into identifying constraints and limitations crucial for both tree preservation and site development. Topics include excavation considerations across various project types, utility separation requirements, and effective site development planning.
Building upon this foundation, the Plan Review Concepts segment delves deeper into integrating tree preservation strategies within the design and plan review process. Participants learn how to interpret building and engineering plans effectively, assess potential impacts on trees, and explore mitigation options associated with proposed plans. Furthermore, the presentation equips attendees with essential communication skills to effectively liaise with applicants, builders, and engineers, fostering collaborative efforts towards sustainable tree preservation practices within construction projects.
