Get exclusive insights from this first-of-its-kind study on Progressive Design-Build (PDB). DBIA, the Charles Pankow Foundation, the ACEC Research Institute and the University of Colorado Boulder partnered to evaluate how Qualifications-Based Selection, target pricing and other PDB practices address risk and insurance challenges for the engineering and design community. Although the full published report will release later in Spring 2026, this session offers a first look at the findings — well before they’re released anywhere else! Moderator Keith Molenaar, Dean of the College of Engineering and Applied Science at the University of Colorado Boulder, will discuss the study’s outcomes followed by a panel of Owners and design-build professionals from the research project’s Steering Committee who will offer insights and recommendations that will shape how the industry tackles risk, insurance and project performance moving forward.
