The 2025 DBIA Design-Build Project/Team Awards are now open, and this year, we’ve made the process easier than ever. The application has been streamlined to reduce redundancy, so you can focus on what matters most to your submission. Plus, we’ve introduced optional questions for those aiming for specialty awards — like Best in VDC, Trailblazer in Inclusive Growth, Enlightened Owner and the I.N.S.P.I.R.E.D. Owner categories — giving you more flexibility to highlight your project’s unique strengths.
- Submission Deadline: May 30, 2025*
- Learn more about the Merit, Excellence and specialty awards: projects.dbia.org
- Winning projects/teams will be recognized at DBIA’s Awards Ceremony, Nov. 6, 2025, at the Design-Build Conference & Expo in Las Vegas
Be sure to view our FAQs and Submission Guidelines prior to getting started. The FAQs answer common questions about the process and provide guidance on resources and documentation you will need to reference, suggest important people to engage in completing your submission and provide an overview of the questions that will be asked when you start your online submission.
