From coast to coast, streets to the skies, we’ve covered it all at #DBIATranspo. We can’t believe it’s almost over already.
In the last round of track sessions in this year’s event, Tom Foley and Becky Yurek from @nycddc look at what’s next for #designbuild in #NewYorkCity following #DDC’s massively successful pilot program (hint: it’s #stormwater and #transportation), and SFO’s Kris Opbroek, Gensler’s Brad White and Turner’s Luis Duran and Brian Dunbar illustrate how offsite #prefabrication and #PDB helped keep #SanFrancisco’s bustling #airport open during #construction.

📊Final day of #DBIATranspo is starting off with some economic numbers and — thankfully — some brilliant folks who can put those numbers into focus (because let’s be honest, data without context is just noise).📈
Joe Bates (@ifassociationresearch) and Jon Gray (Rockport Analytics) are on stage now, picking through the high points from the @acecresearchinstitute Engineering Economic Assessment and Forecast and the Engineering Business Sentiment Survey. What do these numbers really mean for #designbuild and the broader #AEC industry over the next five years? That’s exactly what Joe and Jon are here to talk about — helping us turn economic trends into strategic action.
Grab a coffee or tea (water is also acceptable) and join us, won’t you?
