Description:

Design-build has become a growing alternative to the conventional design-bid-build and CM delivery method because of its flexibility, efficiency and control. Today, design-build projects make up 40% of the construction market and continues to gain momentum*.  With this growing trend, facilities managers and owners need to become familiar with the available design-build choices and if their project would benefit from this approach.

In this two-hour workshop, a certified design-build professional, architect and owner will discuss the benefits and challenges of the four major variations of design-build delivery and how to procure these services. You will learn what projects benefit from design-build, what qualifications are required to perform these services and what types of contracts are available.
