Progressive Design-Build: A Deeper Dive
Progressive Design-Build (PDB) has seen expanded use and interest across the country. PDB uses primarily a qualifications-based selection, followed by a process whereby the Owner then “progresses” toward a design and contract price with the team. In this webinar we’ll take a closer look at the key characteristics of this approach and how to determine if PDB is right for a project; discuss characteristics common to all variations of design-build that are drivers to PDB success; understand key considerations in determining if PDB is right for you and/or your project; gain an understanding of the Validation Phase, a key distinguishing factor of PDB; and hear recommended practices that drive successful PDB outcomes.
