hether it is largescale airport jobs, government buildings, educational and healthcare facilities or myriad other project types, owners are
increasingly turning to alternative delivery methods to improve the speed, efficiency, and the overall outcome of their capital building projects. In California and throughout the Unit-
ed States, the use of design-build delivery in particular has soared in recent years to become the leading delivery method of choice. A recent report by the Design Build Institute of America (DBIA) and FMI, the “Design-Build Utilization Update,” found that design-build will account for as much as 47% of construction spending by 2025
in major construction sectors. Te report that was released in fall
2021 analyzed changes in the design-build market since a similar report in 2018. It projects that design-build will see a compound annual growth rate of 7.6% over the next four years, reaching a total of $400 billion by 2025. Owners cited a variety of reasons for selecting design-build delivery for their projects. Chief among them: project goals and objectives, project complexity and innovation, and schedule. The DBIA/FMI report found that
the Pacific, South Atlantic and West South-Central regions are expected to account for the largest volume of de- sign-build spending during the 2021-
2025 forecast period, employing various procurement approaches.
Progressive Design-Build Most Popular In the Pacific region, progressive de- sign-build is the method most frequently used to procure design-build projects. It brings the design-builder onto the owner’s team even earlier in the design phase than traditional design-build. An- other key feature: the design-builder is selected almost entirely on qualifications, according to DBIA. CM at-Risk (CMR), Integrated Project
Delivery and Construction Manager/ General Contractor (CMGC) are some of the other alternative delivery methods
