Who they are
DBIA focuses on design-build. This professional association provides education, publications, events, and credentials for owners, designers, contractors, and other participants in design-build projects. It promotes practices intended to support team collaboration and shares information about procurement, contract relationships, and delivery methods. Its resources help firms understand design-build processes, while the solicitation, contract, and applicable public procurement rules determine requirements for a particular project.
Why firm owners follow them
Assess delivery fit. Firm principals can use DBIA resources to train staff on design-build roles, procurement, and collaboration with contractors and public owners. Understanding the model helps a firm assess its staffing, teaming relationships, and risk approach for an opportunity. Education and credentials may support development and recruiting. Review each solicitation and contract carefully, since design responsibility, pricing, and liability can differ by project and jurisdiction.
How to use them: Use DBIA's education and events to prepare staff and evaluate design-build pursuits.
