The Design-Build Institute of America knows how difficult the past few months have been on students eager to get design-build training, and ultimately internships and jobs, in the AEC industry. That’s why they’ve create a free webinar series just for you.
The future of America’s recovery depends on keeping future generations of design-builders engaged and trained to deliver Design-Build Done Right® projects in communities from coast to coast. The four-part free webinar series is designed to provide students a jump-start on their design-build experience taught by some of our industry’s leaders. The final session will be led by our distinguished College of Fellows and will focus on putting the principals you’ve learned to work in internships and jobs. Learn more at dbia.org
Project Delivery Fundamentals
June 10
12:00-1:30pm (EDT)
Understanding the differences in project delivery methods is the foundation of good project delivery. The delivery method establishes when parties become engaged; it influences the choices of contractual relationships; and it influences ownership and impact of changes and modification of project costs. It is important to choose a delivery method that best meets the unique needs of each project. This course introduces you to commonly used project delivery methods along with their pros and cons.
