With over 700 registrants, the Chicago Wood Solutions Fair is among the largest in the country. Mike Malinowski had two large audiences for his presentation on Permit Streamlining – including nearly a dozen building officials from around the region and about 100 architects and engineers. There was broad interest in improvement and opening more direct channels of communication between the Design Professional community and the Building Departments. Mike will be back in Chicago in a few weeks to present on this same topic at the AIA National Convention – the largest gathering of Architects in the United States. For this program, Mike has teamed with consultant Robert Wible who works nationally assisting building departments in process improvement.
