The Design-Build Institute of America has announced the release of its updated Transportation and Aviation Design-Build Best Practices Primer, which follows last year’s refresh of the Universal Best Practices and the updated Federal Sector Best Practices introduced earlier this year.
Recognizing the need for sector-specific guidelines, the new primer is designed to offer actionable insights for design-build teams tackling the distinct challenges in transportation and aviation projects.
DBIA’s commitment to maintaining industry-standard design-build resources, education and certification programs drove the evolution of these best practices. The primer was updated from its 2016 release by seasoned design-build experts whose extensive experience in transportation and aviation projects has informed the new guidelines.
The revision process was thorough and collaborative. DBIA’s Transportation & Aviation Markets Committee formed a task force that comprised former and current executives, Owners, practitioners and legal experts. Additionally, recommendations were solicited from various industry partners.
Key updates in the primer include enhanced techniques for procurement, contracts and execution, all tailored to the transportation and aviation design-build sector. The primer now mirrors the structure of the Universal Best Practices while augmenting it with sector-specific insights.
The updated Transportation and Aviation Design-Build Best Practices Primer is now available for free download through DBIA’s online bookstore.
