The Design-Build Institute of America has released a new brochure, “Choosing a Project Delivery Method.”

It provides a concise overview of design-build versus other common delivery methods, and provides owners with factors to consider when choosing the method best suited to their needs. The association says it is an excellent resource for anyone in the industry, whether practitioner, owner, student, or educator. 

The document defines and describes the most commonly used project delivery methods, and details key considerations owners must make when choosing between each one. Those owner considerations fall into five categories: owner control, owner relationships, project budget, project schedule, and owner risk. The document is available for free.
