Show Notes Chapter Markers

As a long-time supporter of the Charles Pankow Foundation, DBIA is excited to share the news about new design-build tools they’ll release in 2023. First is the online Project Delivery Assessment Tool, which allows Owners to assess their ability to deliver projects using design-build. As we all know, design-build is only as successful as the Owners who implement it, and this tool serves as a mirror for Owners to investigate their ability to deliver design-build successfully. The second phase of this project is an update to the Professional Guide to Managing the Design Phase of a Design-Build Project, including new focused guides for five sectors.

In this episode of Design-Build Delivers, we talk to two guests working closely with the Pankow Foundation to create these invaluable new design-build tools. Greg Gidez and Bryan Franz offer a preview of what’s ahead.

Guests: 

Greg Gidez, AIA, FDBIA
Director of Design Services
Hensel Phelps

Bryan Franz, M.E.
University of Florida School of Construction Management
Associate Professor
