It is critical that all Design-Build Institute of America (DBIA) Best Practices and corresponding Implementing Techniques continue to reflect the current state of the Design-Build industry.  In the fall of 2023, DBIA rolled out its updated Federal Sector Best Practices. This was accomplished through a workgroup within the DBIA Federal Committee composed of current and former senior executives with decades of experience leading Federal Agencies’ Design-Build programs. The workgroup solicited recommendations from Agencies throughout federal sector and from associations with members covering all disciplines (contracting professionals, builders, specialty subcontractors, professional architects and engineers, technical representatives, attorneys, etc.) involved in federal integrated design and construction.  This Webinar will provide insight into some of the more significant updates to the Federal Sector Best Practices.   

Learning Outcomes:  In this session you will learn:

  • The revisions to the prior DBIA Federal Sector Best Practices. 
  • The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Parts that support these Best Practices.
  • The importance of leveraging the flexibility that is provided within the FAR to exercise initiative and sound business judgment.
  • The potential for business process innovation when following the Federal Sector Best Practices.
  • The techniques that will increase the probability of a successful Federal Design-Build Project.
