Design-Build (D/B) continues to progress as the delivery method of choice for many public owners federal, state and local on infrastructure projects. Those owners find attractive the ability to (a) contract on a fixed price basis with a design builder who is responsible for both design and construction and (b) transfer substantial risk traditionally retained by the owner to that design-builder.
Many Design Builders respond to Owner D/B RFPs with aggressive pricing proposal and sometimes unrealistic assumptions and expectations as to the details of (post-award) final design development details and construction cost.
What do these owner objectives and Design-Builder practices in DB procurement and contracting mean for the professional liability risk of consultants engaged as part of the team to the Design-Builder?
That question and its answer will be the focus of this Webinar.
