Description

The growth in popularity of design-build is undoubtedly due to the ample empirical data to support design-build as more cost-effective, faster, and producing great owner satisfaction than design-bid-build and CM-at-risk. With 25 states now having full authority for design-build, and 17 more with widespread authority, Design-Build Done Right™ has produced an abundance of real life examples of stellar project successes. With so much success, why the emergence of Progressive Design-Build, and how do the two relate?
