Who We Are

In 1993, design-build was considered a radical approach to project delivery and design-builders were seen by many in the industry as a threat to the status quo. 

A small group of visionaries who believed there was a better way to build established the Design-Build Institute of America. These founding fathers committed to changing the way the construction industry delivers projects by promoting the collaboration, innovation and efficiency of cost and schedule inherent in design-build.

In the three decades since, design-build has become the nation’s fastest-growing delivery method, and DBIA is the nation’s leading source of education, resources and advocacy for Design-Build Done Right®.
