Design-Build for Procurement Professionals – Part 1
Choosing a Project Delivery Method: What is Design-Build?
This presentation will begin from the standpoint that the owner organization has identified a requirement/need for design and construction services. From the DBIA perspective It will discuss:
- What an owner (public or private) should consider in the development of their acquisition plan and defining their acquisition strategy for procurement/project delivery
- The various project delivery structures and their differences that influence contract formation and contract administration
- An overview of the history of design-build and the re-emergence and current impact design-build is having on the design & construction marketplace
- Why design-build is a different more collaborative process that can substantially improve the likelihood of successful project/contract outcomes for the owner organization
