We are moving!
On March 1, 2012, DBIA will move to its new headquarters:
1331 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, 4th Floor
Washington, D.C. 20004


DBIA is committed to achieving, not just talking about, integrated project delivery. As a matter of fact, design-build is the "original" integrated project delivery approach. DBIA educational programs are developed to teach practical "how to" courses about design-build and to advance the education, public awareness, understanding and utility of design-build. Courses and programs developed and delivered by DBIA utilize interactive learning strategies to teach topics ranging from an introduction of design-build techniques to advanced application of design-build concepts. All are designed to impart practical learning which can be utilized in the office and on the job.

Design Management Fundamentals

With increasing reliance on design-build project delivery, design-build projects are coming to the forefront of the design and construction industry. The value, cost and time savings, derived from integrating design and construction services is now widely accepted. Yet many design and construction practitioners lack a basic understanding of one another's roles, business approaches and work cultures. Without an understanding of the motivations and challenges driving each member of the project team, it is difficult to effectively manage the design-build process.

This course provides concrete solutions to design management drawn from a series of multi-day, interdisciplinary workshops sponsored by the Charles Pankow Foundation with support from DBIA. Capturing the insight of experienced design-build professionals, this course clearly lays out the processes associated with successful management of design within an integrated project delivery framework.
