For the past six years, industry analysts at FMI completed comprehensive assessments of the nonresidential construction market. This important research provided the most comprehensive look at design-build’s market size, direction, trends and drivers seen in years. With such rapid change occurring in our industry, FMI updated this research in 2024. This webinar will focus on the results of this latest study, including the utilization of design-build, CMAR and DBB, as well as market drivers influencing Owners’ design-build decisions.

New York City’s use of design-build is reshaping public project delivery — saving time, reducing costs and allowing for greater innovation. With a portfolio of projects valued in the billions, the NYC Department of Design and Construction (DDC) is at the forefront of this transformation. In this webinar, NYC DDC Commissioner Thomas Foley and key DDC leaders share their insights on the Owner’s role in driving design-build success. Join us for this candid discussion on how DDC has been a leader in NYC by advancing Design-Build Done Right® — empowering teams, enabling quick decision-making, and encouraging collaboration and innovation. Whether you're a public or private Owner, AEC professional or policy leader, this conversation will offer valuable takeaways on how to enhance project outcomes through strong Owner leadership.

How can agencies take full advantage of the opportunities to engage the Design-Build Industry (builders, designers, key trades, suppliers and manufacturers). This webinar will share some of the unique strategies, including creative Industry Days, which Agencies/Public Owners are implementing to attract the best Design-Builders with their “A Teams.” It will highlight how these interactions, when properly executed, can improve acquisition outcomes, enhance transparency and strengthen partnerships with the private sector. Our presenters will emphasize how strategic engagements support Design-Build best practices by promoting early discussions, collaboration, shared understanding and better project delivery. They will share their own experiences, providing practical guidance and clarifying what’s allowed under current OMB policies and the Federal Acquisition Regulation. The webinar also serves as a lead-in to DBIA’s reimagined “Federal Sector Design-Build Industry Days” event in August, which will provide opportunities to all Federal agencies to engage with the industry, learn about the current cost drivers and share their procurement forecasts.
