Progressive Design-Build (PDB) has seen expanded use and interest across the country. PDB uses primarily a qualifications-based selection, followed by a process whereby the Owner then “progresses” toward a design and contract price with the team. In this Design-Build Delivers Webinar, we’ll examine DBIA’s new PDB Deeper Dive document and take a closer look at the key characteristics of this approach and how to determine if PDB is right for a project. • Discuss characteristics common to all variations of design-build that are drivers to PDB success. • Understand key considerations in determining if PDB is right for you and/or your project. • Gain an understanding of the Validation Phase, a key distinguishing factor of PDB. • Hear recommended practices that drive successful PDB outcomes.

Teaming Agreements, the legal arrangement that covers the pre-award phase of project pursuits, are one of the most important, variable – and least understood – elements of the design-build process. Too many teams skip this important step or give it short shrift, jumping into the project pursuit phase without aligning on how their firms will work together, share risk, share stipends and costs and cope with project realities in a fair manner. A well-crafted Teaming Agreement can pave the way for a successful pursuit, efficient negotiation of the Subsequent Agreement and seamless project delivery. In this session, members of DBIA’s National Design Professionals’ Advisory and Engagement Committee will share their perspectives and recommendations about why and how to achieve effective Teaming Agreements. Each draws on decades of successful design-build experience and lessons learned while bringing a distinct perspective characteristic of their different role in the team. The panel will address the following key questions: 1. How is a Teaming Agreement going to help my firm achieve success? 2. What Teaming Agreement provisions are indispensable? 3. What are the risks of failing to negotiate a robust Teaming Agreement? 4. How does a Teaming Agreement facilitate efficient Subsequent Agreement negotiations?

The use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and 3D drawings have become a de facto standard for the design of water and wastewater treatment facilities. These BIM models have proven to be very effective in communicating ideas early in the design process to optimize a facility’s performance and achieve consensus with an owner. However, there are few examples and limited standards for design-build projects, particularly for progressive design-build, on how contractors should best apply BIM during construction, and establish requirements for final BIM delivery to owners, that will provide efficiencies and cost savings for ongoing operations and maintenance. This webinar will discuss the practical applications for BIM through the design-build process, and considerations for contract documents, owner’s requirements, and final submittals that will support long term facility maintenance and asset management systems. The promise of BIM is for information developed during design to aid in building assembly modeling, or BAM, through the construction phase to enable efficient scheduling, contractor coordination, and cost control. Ultimately, if design-build is done right, the owner can leverage BIM and BAM for building operations optimization modeling, or BOOM, to support enterprise asset management that minimizes energy consumption, optimizes maintenance, and guides overall facility operations.

Once considered “an alternative form of project delivery,” Design-Build is now the fastest growing and most commonly used project delivery system. Nearly half of all design and construction projects in the U.S. are being delivered using some form of Design-Build. One reason for the popularity of Design-Build, including Progressive Design-Build (PDB), is the flexibility it offers as to how Design-Build services are procured and provided. While this flexibility is primarily a consideration of procurement methods and contract format, Design-Build project delivery remains the constant common denominator among the most prominent variations of its implementation. In this Design-Build Delivers Webinar, we’ll first overview the most common project delivery systems – Design/Bid/Build (DBB), Construction Management at Risk (CMAR) and Design-Build – and highlight differences between performance and prescriptive specs. We’ll then take a deeper dive into the basics of PDB, which uses primarily a qualifications-based selection, followed by a process whereby the Owner then “progresses” toward a design and contract price with the team.
