Progressive Design-Build: Are you Really Ready?

This session aims to address the critical question facing both owners and practitioners considering progressive design-build (PDB): Are you prepared for the mindset shift required for successful collaborative delivery? We’ll provide practical tools and insights to ensure participants are fully equipped to engage in PDB projects effectively. Owners and practitioners will learn how to conduct thorough research and training to understand the nuances of the PDB delivery method. We’ll explore the importance of evaluating governance structures to determine compatibility with PDB principles and practices. Additionally, we’ll emphasize the significance of individual self-awareness in fostering productive collaboration within PDB teams. We’ll discuss how Owner’s Advisors can play a crucial role in helping owners develop procurement processes that align with their culture and their readiness for PDB. By facilitating a transparent and informed selection process, Owner’s Advisors can assist in identifying design-build teams that are also prepared for the collaborative demands of PDB projects. By attending this session, participants will gain actionable strategies for becoming better prepared to navigate the complexities of PDB projects, fostering a culture of collaboration, innovation, and success.
