Cover Story: All Aboard 
By Larry Flynn
From his home office in Grants Pass, Ore., Eric Henderson fondly recalls the epiphany he had during one in a string of seminars he attended several years ago on design-build structural steel frame delivery.
Fast Frame
By Mitch Alverson
Design-build discussions often focus on the relationships between the project owner and a project team consisting of both design and construction professionals who possess a common goal of completing a building project on time, within budget and with an enhanced level of quality.

By John Cross

By Chris Moor

Board Reflections
By Walker Lee Evey
There is a storm of historic proportion gathering on the horizon for the design and construction industry. It differs substantially in character from those the industry has experienced in the past. It is a business storm that will fundamentally change the character of our industry and will unfortunately force many companies to fall by the wayside.
Legislative Update
Attitude Changes
DBIA is taking a different approach to legislation at the national level. While part of our mission is to ensure design-build legislation is passed and included in a variety of bills, DBIA also wants to take a “big picture” approach to lawmakers in Washington to make the authorization and appropriation process more conducive to design-build from the beginning.
