Meet DBIA’s 2022 Brunelleschi Lifetime Achievement Award Winner, Distinguished Leadership Award Winners and this year’s class of Designated Design-Build Professional Fellows™

“Each year, we’re setting new goals and reaching new heights in design-build. With recent market analysis projecting design-build to account for nearly half of all construction spending by 2025, it’s clear that design-build is changing the way America builds. DBIA is leading the way in advancing Design-Build Done Right™, and we’re proud to recognize the industry leaders helping to drive change, innovation and collaboration. This year’s award winners exemplify excellence and are among the best of the best in the industry.” —Lisa Washington, CAE, DBIA Executive Director/CEO
