Bluebeam Revu for Office Administrators
2026-03-02 15:00 - 17:00 | Online
Day-to-day operational work on all our documents, markups, and forms tends to fall squarely on the shoulders of our administrative staff. Unfortunately, we don’t always provide them with the tools and training courses they need to get that work done effectively. Bluebeam Revu is the most used software in the design/build world and it’s not just for estimators and project managers. Office administrative staff can see just as much, if not more, benefit from working inside Bluebeam Revu as anyone in your company.

ZenTek Consultants, a certified Bluebeam Partner, will show you the most effective means of using the software you already own, so you can get the ROI you were hoping for.

You’ve invested in Construction Management software—and maybe training too—but you’re still not seeing the performance or savings you expected. When problems come up, the answer is always the same: buy another module or upgrade to the latest version. That just adds complexity, costs, and disconnected systems.

ZenTek Consultants, in partnership with Associated Builders & Contractors of PA, invites you to a live, open symposium focused on optimizing the Construction Management systems you already use. We’ll share our top five tips for getting more value out of platforms like Procore, ACC, and Bluebeam—and answer your real-world questions in a live, interactive setting.
Submit questions ahead of time or ask them live. ZenTek’s Technology Specialists will cover:

Managing and reassigning system administrators
Automating project reporting
Creating custom data fields

The 5 Biggest Mistakes Contractors Make to Kill their Own Claims
2026-04-21 09:00 - 10:00 | ABC Lehigh Valley, 894 Marcon Blvd, Allentown PA, PA, 18109, United States
This seminar identifies the five biggest mistakes that construction lawyers repeatedly see contractors make during the performance of a project that impact the viability and value of their claims. After identifying these all-too common mistakes, the presentation outlines practical solutions that can be implemented by any construction company to increase the probability of success when presenting claims of all types (changes, differing site conditions, delay, impact, inefficiencies). The implementation of these practical steps in a contractor’s day-to-day project operations can help it avoid the traps that routinely result in the devaluation or outright defeat of otherwise meritorious claims.
Construction attorney and ABC Member J.T. Gallagher of Hendrick, Phillips, Salzman & Siegel, P.C. began working in construction in the Lehigh Valley as a plumber’s helper during high school and has been working in the industry ever since. After obtaining his B.S. in Building Construction from the University of Florida and working for several years in construction project management, J.T. obtained his J.D., with honors, from Emory University School of Law. He now specializes in complex construction litigation and utilizes his industry experience to effectively represents contractors, subcontractors, specialty trade contractors, design professionals, and owners in relation to all aspects of public and private construction projects.

Autodesk Construction Cloud Model Coordination and Analytics
2026-05-05 15:00 - 17:00 | Online
True value from Autodesk Construction Cloud comes from understanding how models and data work together on real projects, not from clicking through a perfect sample file. This course focuses on practical model coordination and meaningful analytics, showing you how to manage multiple 3D models, identify and resolve clashes early, and turn project data into actionable insights. Through hands-on workflows with BIM Collaborate and ACC analytics, you’ll learn how to coordinate design with confidence, track real-world costs and KPIs, and deliver clear, data-driven reporting that supports better decisions across your projects.
This live online course is offered as a four-hour course. Each session is 2 hours. A live instructor explains the detailed functions and addresses questions as the class progresses.
Recording: Registrants for a course will receive access to a recording of each session for 7 consecutive days. Access will start the next business day after the session ends.

Clash Detection: Learn to set up and manage coordination spaces and use automated clash detection to identify and resolve model conflicts before construction begins.
Issue Creation from Clashes: Practice creating and assigning issues directly from detected clashes, ensuring responsible parties are notified and can resolve the conflict.
Mobile Model Access: Understand how to publish and access 3D models from the field to review designs and solve problems on-site.

Session 2: Project Insights and Data Analytics, May 7th

Dashboard Creation: Learn to create customized project dashboards to visualize key metrics, such as RFI and submittal cycle times, safety trends, and budget vs. actual costs.
