Webinar Recording - Design-Build "It's the Fastest Growing and Most Popular Method Used to Deliver Construction Projects in America"

Design-Build Project Delivery: "It’s the fastest growing and most popular method used to deliver construction projects in America." What is Design-Build and what do research studies tell us about it compares to other project delivery methods in terms of cost growth, schedule growth, and delivery speed? Presentation will review how Design-Build differs from other project delivery methods (Design-Bid-Build , Construction Management at Risk, Multi-prime) reviewing delivery method structures, procurement characteristics, and contract administration implications for successful project delivery. Discussion will also delve into how risk factor impacts differ when using design-build in a vertical (building) versus a horizontal (transportation) environment. Discussion will present how organizations need to be process adaptive and flexible to manage design-build contracts for best results.

After completing this online training session, learners will be able to:

 

1. Understand of how Design-Build differs from other Project delivery methods and the impact of single point of responsibility in design and construction when choosing acquisition and project delivery methods for a specific project.

2. Consider design and construction project delivery method market share and trends, as well as research results showing the benefits of Design-Build in terms of Cost, Schedule, and Delivery speed when performing acquisition planning.

3. Identify and evaluate the impact of some of the risk factor differences when using design-build in a vertical (building) versus a horizontal (transportation) environment.
