Design-Build in the Federal Marketplace

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the 2025 Federal Sector Design-Build Industry Days. This event brings together key players from federal agencies, representatives from public agencies utilizing federal funding and leaders from the design and construction industry, and this year was no exception! With record-breaking attendance, it was a great success!

DBIA is committed to providing industry, federal agencies and the programs they fund in states nationwide with the innovative tools, design-build best practices and Federal policy insights needed to build high-performance teams.
