    In this session, we are going to address the leadership gap that exists between the complexity of the world today and where most leaders and organizations are currently positioned from a cognitive development perspective. In the past, our leadership and teaming capabilities were adequately aligned with the transactional, routine nature of traditional project delivery approaches. However, today the complexity of the world has far outpaced the complexity of our thinking, or mental operating systems. Our leadership approaches have not kept pace with the complexity of our Design-Build Done Right project delivery practices and, therefore, our teaming effectiveness has not kept pace either. It’s time to re-boot our mental operating systems to better align and lead within the context of a Design-Build Done Right environment and the complexities associated with it.

    In February 2022, the City of Bend, Ore., issued a Progressive Design-Build (PDB) RFP to design and construct a new site and public works campus in what is anticipated to be its first vertical and one of its largest Design-Build projects. The campus will consolidate five municipal departments onto a new 35.5-acre site. The city selected PDB with an eye toward maximizing efficiency, collaboration and creativity, while bringing the greatest value to citizens. This presentation will explore the importance of building and maintaining a collaborative, diverse, healthy team culture within PDB, and how it can be the key to achieving the highest level of performance and value for the project. Topics will include the team formation process, onboarding, and team successes as well as challenges faced, how they get resolved, and the continual care required to maintain a successful team.

    Whether laying the conceptual groundwork for a project or problem-solving an issue in real-time, the ability of a Design-Build team to make defensible decisions is fundamental to meeting project goals. A3 Problem Solving and Choosing By Advantages are complementary tools that support effective communication and timely approvals by providing a robust, objective means for project teams to collect, compare and present alternative options in a comprehensive manner. As an Owner working with time-strapped decision-makers, as an architect weighing higher education design priorities and as a contractor assessing value for public and private clients, the presenters each leveraged variations of the A3 and Choosing By Advantages tools to facilitate a defensible process at all levels of decision-making. They'll share their experiences and lessons-learned for using and adapting these tools and lead an interactive workshop where attendees can learn the basics and work in groups to record the decision-making process based on some shared examples: Contract type selection for seismic renovations, site selection for a new campus building and location for mechanical equipment on a tenant improvement.

    In 2023, why is sharing a BIM still such a debated issue in project delivery? Certainly, the contractual silos of Design-Bid-Build play a role as compared to Design-Build, but if the efficiencies provide by BIM and VDC are so well documented, why are project teams so reluctant to share models without lengthy disclaimers that amount to nothing more than statements of “you can use it for reference, but you can’t rely any on it?” This session will provide insight from industry professionals about how construction technologies can be merged with project delivery to bridge the gap of the risk management (or avoidance) issues the industry faces, as well as share past challenges and successes of engaging VDC into early project conversations.

    In 2016, King County distributed an Equity and Social Justice (ESJ) strategic plan to take action on deep and persistent inequities in the community. One focus was on design/construction projects led by King County, specifically a $1.74B bond program. Recently, these purposeful requirements have benefited projects at Harborview Medical Center – a public Level 1 trauma center serving the most vulnerable and diverse populations in the County and four neighboring states. By engaging a diverse team on their design and construction projects, a synergy is created with the patients being served. Through shared values and meaningful actions, King County’s ESJ goals have brought forward: 1) Inclusive and collaborative projects and working relationships, 2) Diverse and people-focused projects, 3) Transparent and accountable actions, 4) Racially just programs. During the procurement of the recent Harborview PDB partners, each team was asked to explain their approach to ESJ during design and construction. The teams discussed various MWBE goals, solicitation and engagement strategies, continuous outreach, tracking and monitoring of their plan, training and accommodations, mentoring and determinants of success. With the new Harborview Tower in the planning stage, the team is building a workforce that will have expertise in healthcare construction for future work.

    The Design-Build team for the new $110M, 100,000 sq. ft. UC Davis Health Folsom Medical Office Building will share how they've successfully used VR throughout the design process to create understanding and alignment between the client and the Design-Build team. With key stakeholders gathered in the same virtual space, the team has been able to collaboratively create live markups within the 3D model, providing stakeholders with a tangible understanding of the built environment and allowing the GC team to evaluate the design to identify potential constructability concerns, proposed changes and greater efficiencies. This presentation will share the process the Design-Build team used to implement regular VR design walk-throughs, incorporate this practice into OAC and Big Room meetings, and create a "VR road show," during which the team brought the VR setup on site to medical practices for providers to review and provide sign-off on the design. By utilizing the strengths of a virtual environment, the team has created excitement for the project among staff, fostered confidence and buy-in with the client, and identified potential construction issues before they occurred.

    Design-Build contracts transfer the responsibility for design quality control to the Design-Builder. Hence, the Owner’s role becomes one of quality oversight and its involvement in the technical review of design deliverables becomes very different than in a traditional design-bid-build design contract. The speed with which DB projects are delivered puts design approval on the critical path, creating a need to expedite design quality control activities to achieve release for construction documents. It also creates a situation where Owner-generated comments can result in delay claims. This presentation reports the use of design quality audits as a mechanism to promote timely communications, which acts as a dispute avoidance tool. A framework for implementing design quality audits is presented in the context of a $400 million DB RiverRenew Tunnel water/wastewater project. The key contribution is showing that design quality audits allows the Owner to perform its due diligence responsibility to monitor DB project quality in a manner that does not usurp the Design-Builder’s responsibility to produce quality construction documents and avoid becoming the sources of project delay claims. It also emphasizes that design quality issues must be given visibility to facilitate the timely response to and correction of contract noncompliance.

    Collaborative delivery on the Design-Build UC Davis Shasta Hall project enhanced budget and schedule in a resource-constrained environment by encouraging innovative solutions from bridging documents through construction. The DPR Construction and HKS design-build team collaborated to meet UC Davis’ project goals and deliver this ground-up, three-building student housing complex with an improved student experience for the Fall term, a year earlier than originally planned. Successful approaches to expand efficiency included pre-assembled electrical frameworks to accelerate installations and increase capacity on this logistically complex project. Deviating from a more traditional wood-framed approach in the RFP stage differentiated the team. By partnering with Digital Building Components and utilizing a digitally prefabricated light-gauge metal, load bearing, panelized wall and floor system built off-site for the primary construction system, the building type transformed from Type V/III, wood-framed construction to a Type II steel-framed building. This change allowed the three buildings to be connected, improving egress and allowing social balconies between the buildings. The panelized wall system was cost-competitive with wood and benefited from schedule escalation and enhanced quality.

    In 1993, when DBIA was established, there were only three states authorized to use design-build. Today, there are only two holdouts, and the past two years have been the most successful legislative period in DBIA’s history. More than four hundred bills were introduced across the country to preserve, protect and expand design-build authority at all levels of government. How did design-build evolve from being a pilot program to the most used delivery method today? This session will dive into the history of design-build legislation, the status of design-build authority and legislation, and emerging trends across sectors and states. A panel of industry experts will discuss the different paths state and local governments have taken to design-build pass design-build legislation and best practices.

    In 2014, the Charles Pankow Foundation released v2.0 of the Professional’s Guide to Managing the Design Phase of a Design-Build Project, a resource to assist design-builders with the design management process. However, much has changed in the industry since this groundbreaking resource was published. Over the last two years, a group of subject-matter-experts (SMEs) in design-build delivery, from around the U.S. and from a variety of market sectors, met to rethink and revitalize this important publication. Comprised of owners, designers, contractors, and specialty trades, these SMEs worked alongside an academic team with faculty from the University of Florida, Iowa State University, and the University of New Mexico. The proposed presentation will explain the process they followed to update the guide and provide a brief overview of the new content. Following the presentation, we propose a panel discussion with a select group of SMEs to explain their experience with the guide and its relevance to their work. An exciting new addition to the guide will also be sector specific playbooks for the industrial, aviation, water/wastewater, federal and highway market sectors. An update on the development and expected release of these playbooks will be provided.

    How can an industrial building on a contaminated site with poor soil structure be environmentally sensitive? At 30,000 SF, the new Accretech manufacturing facility could have been another steel and concrete building sitting amidst a sea of asphalt. However, the Owner’s vision and goals were transformed using a reimagined, adaptable process. Starting with deep listening and analysis, the design-build team helped the client find answers to challenging questions: Can we reimagine what industry should be in a new context and its role in the natural environment? Can industrial buildings be exciting? Can they reflect history and point toward a better future? The project challenged us to develop tools to create a framework to effectively support the design-build process on a smaller project as it has been proven on large projects. From co-locating to collaboration; our design-build team and MEP subs partnered with the Energy Trust of Oregon to reimagine what industry should be and transform its role in the natural environment. In this session, we will share the details of how we achieved process improvements that you can apply to any integrated delivery project, regardless of type, size or location.

    Progressive Design-Build (PDB) has many advantages as a collaborative project delivery alternative. Many believe that design-build is best for large projects for utilities with large staff who can help oversee the project and not “lose control” of the project. However, despite that common perspective, two smaller utilities in Virginia, each with limited staff, both undertook projects to develop a new intake, raw water pumping station, water treatment plant and finished water piping to connect to their respective distribution systems. Both utilities looked to deliver their projects using the PDB delivery model. Unfortunately, shortly after procuring their respective Design-Builders, both realized that their initial project budgets ($20 to $25 million) were 30 to 50% lower than required to meet their intended scopes of work. Through the course of the preconstruction effort, one Owner moved forward with the GMP that was prepared by the Design-Builder and the other Owner took the off-ramp. This will be a panel discussion with both Owners on the “how” and “why” each project took a different path at the GMP. Owners will discuss what went well, what didn’t and what they might do different the next time.
