2022 Design-Build Project of the Year Team

This is What Design-Build Excellence Looks Like

December 2022

In this episode of DBIA’s Design-Build Delivers® podcast, we talk to three of the project leaders whose team delivered DBIA’s 2022 Design-Build Project of the Year. Building a new home for California’s Natural Resources Agency was not only a massive project, but the team also faced numerous challenges, including the pandemic, deadly wildfires and civil unrest nearby. Despite it all, their one-team-one goal approach delivered beauty, community, resiliency, and so much more. There are so many real-world lessons to be learned from DBIA award-winning teams, and this group has an incredible story to tell.
