Owners are organizations and individuals who control the design and construction decision process. Owners decide what is built, when, and how. Owners with vision are choosing to accomplish an ever increasing percentage of their design and construction requirements using design-build. They recognize that successful design-build requires a higher level of learning and and improved set of skills.
