Study Tracks the Rise of Design-Build in Construction

摘要

It was once considered an out-of-the-box process for construction projects, but now design-build is becoming the preferred delivery method for a growing number of public and private owners, according to FMI Corp.'s Design-Build Utilization study. "Collaboration and innovation are delivering better projects that also achieve cost and schedule savings, which is especially important as cash-strapped states and communities have to do more with less," said Lisa Washington, executive director and CEO of the Design-Build Institute of America, which commissioned the study.
