Design-Build in the Federal Marketplace

Design-build Owners and industry interested in federal sector projects will come together this August for the 2021 Federal Design-Build Symposium.

Two of the biggest challenges facing federal project managers are gaps in time and budget. Design-build can help close those gaps and will play a critical role in delivering the nation’s most cost and schedule-efficient economic recovery projects. As the prospect for a federal infrastructure investment package appears more likely than ever, its important teams are ready to respond to federal Owners’ need for qualified design-build pros.

DBIA’s Federal Design-Build Symposium will provide federal teams with the innovative tools, design-build best practices, and federal policy insights needed to build high-performance teams delivering better projects — on-time and on-budget. From understanding the FAR to cutting edge design-build innovations, these sessions are designed to help federal design-build teams deliver on the promise of economic recovery.
