Event
Join our research team and panel of industry veterans, for a deep dive into groundbreaking research on Progressive Design-Build (PDB). The research examines this emerging delivery method in practice, the perceptions surrounding PDB, and its potential for industry participants to achieve successful outcomes on projects. Learn how PDB promotes early discussions about risk, allowing teams to assign responsibilities transparently and collaboratively.
Based on recent research from the ACEC Research Institute, in partnership with The Charles Pankow Foundation and the Design-Build Institute of America (DBIA), this session will uncover key findings from Phase I of the study and preview exciting directions for Phase II.
You’ll learn:
• Why 79% of stakeholders report satisfaction with Progressive Design-Build—and what drives their positive experiences.
• How specific key themes in PDB support risk resilience.
• How PDB addresses specific challenges for design firms identified in the ACEC Research Institute’s 2022 Design Build State of the Practice study.
• Actionable guidance to improve risk management and collaboration in complex design-build projects from Design-Builders, Owners, and Engineers.
• How you can contribute to Phase II research through project case studies and collaboration.
If you’re a design-build professional seeking to better understand market trends, risk allocation practices, and how to stay ahead in a rapidly evolving delivery environment, this webinar is for you. Be part of shaping the next chapter of Progressive Design-Build.
