The success of design-build and progressive design-build projects hinges on assembling the right team—starting with the Design-Build Best Practice of selecting “The Right People.” These fast-paced delivery methods demand a collaborative, innovative, and responsive team that can work seamlessly using design-build tools to solve problems and deliver value to the Owner. We’ll explore how to build high-performing teams, including when to form your team, what defines an A+ team, how to choose the “right people,” and how to motivate them for the unique demands of design-build. We’ll highlight the differences in team assembly between design-build and progressive design-build, where early collaboration and Owner engagement are key. We’ll also examine the importance of local experience, the role of technology in driving collaboration, and how to transform a group of individuals into a unified, high-performing team. Additionally, we will discuss the benefits and challenges of reusing teams across projects and offer a roadmap for selecting a winning team every time. Most importantly, we’ll ask: what are Owners truly looking for when choosing the right team—and how can yours stand out?
