Once seen as an alternative delivery method for capital projects, design-build has rapidly become the fastest-growing and most widely adopted project delivery method in the United States. By 2026, FMI projects that design-build will account for over 47% of construction spending, totaling an impressive $1.9 trillion over the next five years.
 
When adhering to Design-Build Best Practices, architects play a crucial and continuous role throughout the process. Design-Build is more than accelerating schedules and creating cost-accountability. Design innovation is often a cornerstone of successful design-build delivery and brings more efficient and effective solutions to projects. The architect’s role in driving creative problem-solving and innovation needs to be elevated in the design-build conversation for true success.
 
More than a contract method, design-build is a transformative mindset and a dynamic process. Design-build thrives on collaboration, integration, and a foundation of trust, mutual respect, and teamwork.
