DBIA

DBIA, or Design-Build Institute of America, is an organization that promotes a collaborative approach to the construction process called "design-build." In this approach, a single entity handles both the design and construction of a project, streamlining communication and reducing delays. DBIA provides certification, training, and best practices to help professionals deliver projects more efficiently, cost-effectively, and with higher quality. This method contrasts with traditional methods where design and construction are separated and handled by different teams, often leading to conflicts and longer timelines.
