Why this program matters

  • Real estate projects without documented decision traceability average 23% delays and 18% cost overruns according to construction industry federations.

  • Teams waste time re-discussing choices already settled, which weakens certifications and client relationships.

  • Architects and project managers see their credibility and career opportunities limited against competitors who master structured methods.

  • Adopting ADRs is essential to secure assignments and accelerate professional growth.

ADR training objectives

  • Master ADR writing in a professional context for certified training
  • Develop advanced skills to structure decisions within construction companies
  • Design ADR templates tailored to complex real estate projects
  • Optimize traceability of architectural choices within teams
  • Implement ADR processes to reduce risks in professional training
  • Integrate ADRs into Qualiopi certification workflows in real estate

ADR curriculum: 5 modules over 5 days

Module 1 : Theme: ADR Fundamentals in Construction Architecture (Tools: Markdown, Git, templates)

Participants discover the principles of Architecture Decision Records applied to real estate projects. They explore concrete site cases and use standardized templates to document initial choices. Practical exercises on real coordination scenarios enable the production of deliverables immediately usable in a professional setting.

Module 2 : Theme: Advanced ADR Writing for Construction Projects (Tools: Confluence, Notion)

This day deepens the editorial quality of ADRs in the construction sector. Learners analyze complex urban planning decisions and create detailed records including technical and regulatory impacts. Collaborative workshops result in documents ready for integration into certification files.

Module 3 : Theme: ADR Integration into BIM and Real Estate Processes (Tools: Revit, Navisworks)

Trainees connect ADRs to digital models and construction workflows. They simulate stakeholder arbitrations and generate traceable deliverables for audits. Real-life scenarios strengthen the ability to align documentation with Qualiopi requirements in professional training.

Module 4 : Theme: ADR Governance and Sharing in Construction Teams (Tools: GitLab, SharePoint)

The session focuses on implementing shared ADR libraries within real estate organizations. Participants deploy review processes and validate complex use cases. Collective exercises produce internal guides and performance indicators suited to large-scale projects.

Module 5 : Theme: ADR Audit and Continuous Improvement (Tools: Power BI, dashboards)

The final day trains participants in evaluating and improving ADR practices in construction. Learners conduct audits on fictional projects and design measurable improvement plans. Each participant leaves with a complete kit of templates and recommendations for deploying the method in their organization.

Our method

How Learni guarantees the quality of your ADR training

Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.

Step 1

Rigorous trainer selection

Each trainer is validated on three criteria: hands-on field expertise, proven pedagogy and alignment with your industry.

  • Triple validation: technical, pedagogical, sectoral.
  • Minimum rating 4.8/5 over the last 12 sessions.
Step 2

You meet the trainer beforehand

30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.

  • Live briefing on goals and team context.
  • Veto right — we swap the trainer for free if needed.
Step 3

Content tailored to your context

No recycled slides. The syllabus is reworked from your real cases: tools, constraints, vocabulary, ongoing projects.

  • Hands-on cases drawn from your stack and projects.
  • Program co-written then validated by your team.
Step 4

Continuous quality follow-up

Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.

  • NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
  • Satisfaction guarantee: fully satisfied or free rework.

A simple promise: you don't pay to discover the trainer on day one. Everything is validated upfront, by you.
