AUGUST 13th 1:00 PM EST – 1:45 PM EST ( 45 Min )

In this session we will discuss the intersection of current design-build practices and how they should be adapted for facility/venue projects. With a collaborative delivery inherently embedded in almost any alternative delivery approach, mastering the design-build learning curve is fundamental to successfully implementing projects. The panel will focus on identifying key issues and risk transfer considerations unique to design-build delivery followed by an interactive discussion addressing key implementation issues. For example: what are the preparation steps needed for an to implement a project without prior hands-on design-build experience? How does the fixed price design-build approach translate to a procurement, particularly in relation to prescriptive- versus performance-based requirements? Is there a progressive design-build option within the DB framework? How does the risk transfer and securitization of existing DBO models compare to traditional delivery? And how can commissioning approaches and acceptance metrics for design-build and DBO projects be applied in today’s environment?
