CONTENT EXPIRES: December 31, 2022 2020 Design-Build Conference & Expo

CONTENT EXPIRES: December 31, 2022 Design-Build delivery has been evolving. Many owners have moved from design-bid-build to design-build Best Value Selection (BVS) and are now moving to progressive design-build (PDB). Through this evolution, there can be knowledge gaps between the design-build BVS and PDB processes with a variety of successes, failures, and a significant learning curve. This session gives unique insight from two highly distinguished public sector owners who candidly share their stories. At UCSD, the PDB process was initiated about three years ago. While at SFO, the PDB practice has been implemented for over ten years with many successful outcomes.

CONTENT EXPIRES: December 31, 2022 The session will take a look at procurement from the perspective of three large and sophisticated owners as well as an experienced owner's consultant. The panel will discuss what owners are looking for in responses to their procurement documents and share lessons learned to other owners on what to expect from the process.

CONTENT EXPIRES: December 31, 2021 Owners are a critical part of a successful design-build project team. The decisions made by Owners from the pre-award process, to design development, to project close-out, can have a profound impact on project outcomes.

CONTENT EXPIRES: December 31, 2021 2019 Design-Build Conference & Expo

CONTENT EXPIRES: December 31, 2022 Picking up on the very popular 2019 session “Delivering Red-Hot Design-Build in a White Hot Market” this session explores what makes an Owner of choice, how practitioners make the decision to pursue a project, how they identify the “Owner of Choice” with which to work. Further, the session will explore how, in a less than optimal project, risk is addressed and how it can it drive up costs. This will be a much more interactive session, with minimal formal presentation.
