Cover Story: All Aboard New Members Only
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 New Members Only
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.

But to do so, it behooves any design-build practitioner to develop an understanding of the structural steel supply chain function to enable those within the chain to serve the design-build process in the best and most efficient manner.

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 New Members Only
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.
