While the tenuous economy has many design and construction firms rethinking their strategy for winning work, we are seeing a steady surge of projects being completed utilizing design-build project delivery. According to Engineering News-Record (June 8, 2009), design-build revenue continues to surge as domestic sales doubled from $30.5 billion in 2004 to $64.4 billion in 2008.
Legislative Update
By James Kuhn
The Design-Build Institute of America (DBIA) was quite active at the end of 2008 and the beginning of this year with regard to the stimulus legislation that was a high priority for both Congress and the new administration. DBIA engaged with both the Senate and House leadership, in addition to the Senate and House Appropriations Committees, about the relevance and national-interest aspects of design-build as it pertains to federal-stimulus dollars for major projects.
