The Design-Build Institute of America (DBIA) is an association of leaders in the design and construction industry utilizing design-build and integrated project delivery methods to achieve high performance projects.
Founded in 1993 and headquartered today in Washington, DC, DBIA offers its members opportunities for education, networking, information, and advocacy.

Through DBIA, hundreds of design-build professionals across the nation have demonstrated their knowledge, skills and abilities of design-build project delivery through attainment of the Designated Design-Build ProfessionalTM desgination.
No other organization offers a credential that is specifically designed to distinguish those who have proven knowledge and expertise from the masses who "claim" to be experts. |
DBIA focuses its efforts on increasing the successful use of innovative design-build teams on non-residential building, civil infrastructure and process industry projects. Best practices are disseminated through educational programs and conferences, publications such as the DATELINE journal and the Design-Build Manual of Practice, and legislative efforts at the federal and state level. The prestigious annual National Design-Build Awards competition highlights successful design-build projects across all sectors. DBIA's sixteen regions provide membership benefits at the local level, while also reaching out to owners to promote increase awareness, understanding and use of successful design-build project delivery.
