DBIA-Southwest Louisiana Chapter Meetings
When: Baton Rouge - Tuesday, February 7, 2012, andNew Orleans - Wednesday, February 8, 2012
Where: See official flyers below for location details!
Description: Design-build has transformed the construction industry over the last two decades allowing state, local and federal government to deliver projects on time, on budget with fewer claims and change orders. Having a single point of accountability, faster delivery times, and greater cost effectiveness and far fewer change orders are often cited as reasons for the construction community's transformation from traditional delivery methods to design-build. Studies show that design-build projects have a 6-10 percent lower cost and are completed 33 percent faster than traditional project delivery methods. In the last 19 years, design-build has gone from a very limited state option to being authorized in some fashion in all 50 states. It has been used for schools and universities, water/waste water treatment plants, transportation, housing, hospitals, and major federal facilities. Presented by Tucker Ophof, Director of Membership Development at DBIA National.
