How can two owners use the same delivery method so differently? This session explores how very different public owners – a state Department of Transportation and a single-focus public authority – have each deployed design-build to fit their respective circumstances. DOT, with deep internal resources and varied short- and long-term responsibilities, takes a hands-on approach and leans heavily on its professional engineering and other staff. The authority by contrast, operates leanly, leveraging outside consultants to manage massive infrastructure projects. Their contrasting strategies highlight key lessons in aligning delivery models with organizational capacity. Whether you're from a small owner with a single project or a large institution, this presentation will offer practical guidance for customizing your approach to design-build.
