Since its inception over thirty years ago, Design-Build has been promoted as a revolutionary delivery methodology that improves Project success through collaboration. Over that time, an evolved approach to the effective use of Design-Build has developed. This session will examine how owners and contractors can better position themselves for design-build success through careful planning and a realistic assessment of the project and its stakeholders. Often taken for granted, true collaboration is rarely achieved on American design- build projects, particularly when one of the parties lacks the necessary understanding and experience with the design-build model. This session will focus on how all parties, both contractually and through proper implementation of best practices derived, can facilitate more real and meaningful collaboration leading to greater success and fewer disputes.
