CONTENT EXPIRES: December 31, 2025

In 2014, the Charles Pankow Foundation released v2.0 of the Professional's Guide to Managing the Design Phase of a Design-Build Project, a resource to assist design-builders with the design management process. However, much has changed in the industry since this groundbreaking resource was published. Over the last two years, a group of subject-matter-experts (SMEs) in design-build delivery, from around the U.S. and from a variety of market sectors, met to rethink and revitalize this important publication. Comprised of owners, designers, contractors, and specialty trades, these SMEs worked alongside an academic team with faculty from the University of Florida, Iowa State University, and the University of New Mexico. The proposed presentation will explain the process they followed to update the guide and provide a brief overview of the new content. Following the presentation, we propose a panel discussion with a select group of SMEs to explain their experience with the guide and its relevance to their work. An exciting new addition to the guide will also be sector specific playbooks for the industrial, aviation, water/wastewater, federal and highway market sectors. An update on the development and expected release of these playbooks will be provided.
