Partner Sian Roberts will be discussing “Get Your Motor Running – How a Validation Period Jump Starts the PDB Process” as part of the 2024 DBIA Northwest Region Oregon Chapter.
The first step in a Progressive Design-Build (PDB) process is for the parties to validate the project through what DBIA has termed the “Validation Period”. The parties must become aligned regarding the scope, schedule, and budget before collaboratively developing the remainder of the project. It is also important to perform a thorough review of the major risks associated with the project at the beginning to develop a plan for managing project risks throughout the project. Four PDB experts – An Owner, Design-Builder, designer and attorney – will guide participants through the Validation Period and discuss how to structure an effective Validation Period, strategies to achieve consensus and provide lessons learned. The four panelists are all members of the DBIA PDB Resources Committee.
Learning Objectives:
Other speakers include Robynne Thaxton – Attorney at Thaxton Parkinson, Brian Aske – Director at Lease Crutcher Lewis, and Geoffrey Neumayr – Chief Development Officer at the San Francisco International Airport.
