The Membership Committee currently has 9 members and is
focusing on inviting Architects to join DBIA and the Northwest
Region.
Can your team afford not to be on the
cutting edge of what is happening with design-build
delivery?
In response to the emergence of design-build
project delivery as a significant force in the design and
construction field, the Design-Build Institute of America
(DBIA) was founded to provide a voice supporting this
integrated process. Design-build embraces
architecture/engineering and construction services under a
single contract, thereby re-combining the vital roles of
designer and constructor. Design-build practitioners come
from a long tradition of excellence and, while honoring
their past, look to the future with innovative design and
information-age management techniques to continue those high
standards.
The Institute’s purpose is not only to provide
a voice for its members and all design-build project owners
and practitioners, but also to improve the level of practice
on a continuing basis; to disseminate educational
information; and to furnish advice and support to facility
owners and users. DBIA members are remaking the image of
America’s construction industry – in this country and
worldwide.
Some of the other reasons that make joining so
compelling are:
This is the only organization that includes
members from all professions of the project
delivery cycle (owners, developers, designers, contractors
and suppliers).
