Overview
The Design-Build Institute of America (DBIA) invites you to submit your successful design-build project(s) for our 2008 National Design-Build Project Awards competition. Completed entries and entry fee payments must arrive to the DBIA national office in Washington, D.C. no later than May 30, 2008.
To be considered for a National Design-Build Award, projects must demonstrate successful application of design-build principles, including collaboration in the early stages of the project and the acceptance of single-entity risk. The project must be completed on time, on budget and without litigation. Winning projects are honored for their advanced and innovative application of total integrated project delivery and finding unique solutions for project challenges.
Project submissions may be awarded a National Design-Build, Design-Build Excellence, or Design-Build Merit Award in one of 13 categories. To be eligible, projects must have been completed between March 31, 2005 and March 31, 2008.
Judging will take place at DBIA in June 2008 by a jury of industry experts, including DBIA members, owners and design-builders.
Award presentations will take place during the 2008 Design-Build Conference & Expo in Las Vegas, November 3-5, 2008. Please provide contact information for up to three design-build team members who will accept the single award on the team’s behalf at the award ceremony. This physical award will be engraved with the project name, category and design-builder’s company name. Additional awards specifying the owner, engineer, architect or other team members may be purchased after the award ceremony through DBIA.
