Hello,

Our project is pursing LEED BD+C v4 EQpc44.

I have a question regarding the ergonomic specialist hired to design an ergonomic strategy for the project.

Our project is public and since this, the ergonomic specialist will not be hired before the construction starts, because this project goes first to a contest and then this specialist could be hired.

So as we are on the design phase the only way that we have to affirm that this specialist will be hired is by the written commitment of the owner's representative and also specifying it in the contract with the company chosen

I don't know if you can recommend me something else.

Thank you in advance.

Dolores

Hi Dolores, because the ergonomist is a specialty vendor and not a typical GC or subcontractor, could the project onboard them before it is awarded? Per the credit requirements, the ergonomist needs to be engaged during the schematic design phase in order to thoroughly support design. Therefore, onboarding once the project is awarded seems too late as the design would likely be solidified at this point, negating the benefits of early engagement.
