Over the past two decades, design-build has moved from alternative to mainstream as a preferred project delivery system. Today, nearly half of American construction dollars – an estimated $1.2 trillion in 2018-2021 – is being spent on design-build projects, according to the Design-Build Institute of America (DBIA).
Design-build promises a quality project at a lower cost and in a shorter time frame than traditional design-bid-build. But design-build project delivery also eliminates the Owner’s contractual relationships with the architects and engineers, who now report to the design-build team.
You’re invited! Join us for Kwame Foundation’s Annual Golf Tournament on August 29 at Top Golf – Chesterfield. The tournament will fund scholarships for first-generation, minority, college-bound students. Since 2003, Kwame Foundation has awarded approximately $1.3 million in scholarships and grants to students throughout Missouri.
