Expanded Guides to Managing the Design Phase of Design-Build Projects

The Professional’s Guide to Managing the Design Phase of a Design-Build Project (Guide) has been the go-to resource for design-build (DB) professionals for a decade and is utilized in company, university and DBIA training.  Needed is an updated and expanded Guide to reflect the state-of-practice and a path forward, with common principles that apply to all DB projects and market sectors, and specific guidance for the Building sector. Additionally, “playbooks” that provide targeted design management guidance for four additional market sectors will be created to assist professionals in navigating the differences in procurement processes, project scope, team composition, and BIM-readiness and more. A common glossary of terms regarding DB contracting mechanisms that are consistent for both U.S. and international audiences will be created and underpin the Guide and Playbooks. This project is being done in collaboration with University of Florida (RGA #03-21) and Iowa State University (RGA #04-21).
