Design-build is a collaborative team approach to project delivery that integrates design and construction with a single-point of responsibility contract. Every year design-build practitioners, specialty contractors and public and private owners gather for DBIA's Design-Build Conference & Expo. Record-breaking attendance at each of the last three annual conferences demonstrates that this integrated delivery method is maintaining its upward trajectory and DBIA is the only organization that defines, teaches and promotes best practices in design-build.
