2024 Virtual Selecting Owner Advisor (March 29)

Registration Closed

The role of an Owner Advisor has developed over the years as the increasing complexities of contractual obligations have led Owners to seek more advice to be more informed and knowledgeable about the procurement, design, and construction processes. In this course you’ll uncover the broad scope of services from pre-award to post-award responsibilities that an Owner Advisor can play, as well as important the important role of the Owner in ensuring that the advisor is a true extension of the design-build team.

This course is a must for Owners, as well as for those providing Owner Advisor services.

You MUST have video/camera capability on the computer you will be using;

Please find a quiet location that will have minimal distractions/disturbances;
Please Mute your microphone when you are not speaking; and
Remain in the virtual classroom during class activities as they, too, will take place virtually and you are expected to participate.

DBIA instructors and staff will actively monitor your attendance and reserve to right to decline issuance of a certificate of completion should virtual attendees not actively participate based on the rules above.
