This webinar on April 10th provides a brief overview of the history of design integration management — what it means, why it’s important and who can benefit — and shares the real perspectives of an Owner, design-builder and designer on their experiences working as or alongside Design Integration Managers.

Every year, the DBIA Project/Team Awards recognize the teams that demonstrate Design-Build Done Right®, but how does the jury actually evaluate submissions? Host Erin Looney chats with four members of the DBIA Awards jury to explain what they look for when reviewing projects and what makes a submission stand out.

DBIA seeks candidates who understand and support our mission and goals and who are committed to advancing design-build project delivery across all sectors and markets. Of particular interest are leaders representing subcontractors and/or specialty trades as DBIA advances efforts to ensure the perspectives of these key players are heard.

Building on DBIA’s Virtual Design & Construction Primer, our new VDC Project Leader’s Role & Responsibilities on Design-Build Projects Primer defines the breadth and depth of knowledge required of a VDC Project Leader on design-build projects to realize VDC Done Right.
