The role of an Owner Advisor has developed over the years as the increasing complexities of contractual obligations have led Owners to seek more advice to be more informed and knowledgeable about the procurement, design, and construction processes. In this course you’ll uncover the broad scope of services from pre-award to post-award responsibilities that an Owner Advisor can play, as well as important the important role of the Owner in ensuring that the advisor is a true extension of the design-build team. This course is a must for Owners, as well as for those providing Owner Advisor services. (8 CEUs)

This course focuses on execution planning for Building Information Modeling (BIM). Different use cases for implementing BIM will be discussed (e.g., authoring the design, cost estimating and 4D modeling), but the course will not focus on how to create any specific model. (8 CEUs)

This course focuses on execution planning for Building Information Modeling (BIM). Different use cases for implementing BIM will be discussed (e.g., authoring the design, cost estimating and 4D modeling), but the course will not focus on how to create any specific model. In other words, this will not be a computer modeling course, but instead focuses on what model content should be developed and shared throughout the project lifecycle, as well as focusing on the process for managing the information flow.

The flexibility of design-build project delivery allows an Owner to choose among various approaches for procurement and contracting. In progressive design-build (PDB) the Owner “progresses” towards a design and contract price with the team, making it an increasingly popular delivery option. (8 CEUs)

One of the hallmarks of design-build project delivery is early knowledge of costs. This course introduces the fundamentals of conceptual estimating and how to go about assessing risk and calculating costs before design is complete. (6 CEUs)

CONTENT EXPIRES: December 31, 2022 DBIA’s Design-Build Done Right® Best Practices are universally applicable best practices that, if implemented, significantly increase the chances of project success. The principles apply to project of any size, in any sector, in any location.

CONTENT EXPIRES: December 31, 2022 Design-Build delivery has been evolving. Many owners have moved from design-bid-build to design-build Best Value Selection (BVS) and are now moving to progressive design-build (PDB). Through this evolution, there can be knowledge gaps between the design-build BVS and PDB processes with a variety of successes, failures, and a significant learning curve. This session gives unique insight from two highly distinguished public sector owners who candidly share their stories. At UCSD, the PDB process was initiated about three years ago. While at SFO, the PDB practice has been implemented for over ten years with many successful outcomes.

CONTENT EXPIRES: December 31, 2022 This presentation will review several examples of progressive design-build water and wastewater projects where the early integration of the design-builder, Owner, key subcontractors and the Owner’s advisor resulted in significant benefits to project performance, specifically during execution and startup. DBIA best practices and methods developed across several successful projects will be reviewed. The examples and concepts provided here will support the idea that integrated delivery relies heavily on strong relationships, communication and collaboration by all.

CONTENT EXPIRES: December 31, 2022 How many times have you come to an end of a project and thought, “if I could do this all over again, I’d change a few things?” GSA did not just think it, they acted and conducted a post-mortem on a 1970s era, 16-story Federal Building modernization that took place form 2009 – 2014 using American Recovery and Reinvestment Act Funding. Hear critical lessons learned on this project and what the Owner and team would do differently if they could do it all over again.

CONTENT EXPIRES: December 31, 2022 What makes for a design-build dream team? Early integration of key trades. Our team enhanced project delivery at the new George Mason High School by engaging mechanical, electrical, low voltage and millwork/casework trade partners early and often. Identifying these trades during the RFP process and engaging them throughout design was critical to achieving the owner’s program requirements while meeting the budget. Are you ready to leverage each company’s expertise and build your own dream team?

CONTENT EXPIRES: December 31, 2022 The workplace of today is rapidly evolving, and it is not enough for firms to have a grasp of the latest BIM/VDC technologies. We must embrace the transition to cloud platforms that allow work to be done from anywhere – remote sites, homes and traditional offices. This requires close collaboration between IT infrastructure teams and BIM/VDC teams, something that has traditionally been difficult for most organizations. This trend has been illuminated by the recent COVID-19 pandemic and we will show what a completely virtual and remote workforce looks like and how this helped Southland transition to the new virtual workplace.

CONTENT EXPIRES: December 31, 2022 The use of fair and clear contracts is fundamental to any delivery process. Because there are some important differences between design-build contracts and those for other delivery systems, it is particularly important for the individuals who administer the design-build procurement and execution to understand the contract’s language and its practical application.

CONTENT EXPIRES: December 31, 2022 The session will take a look at procurement from the perspective of three large and sophisticated owners as well as an experienced owner's consultant. The panel will discuss what owners are looking for in responses to their procurement documents and share lessons learned to other owners on what to expect from the process.
