2011 Design-Build Awards Competition and 2011 Distinguished Design-Build Leadership Awards


More information coming in October 2010


THE COMPETITION
To be considered for a DBIA-Upper Midwest Region Design-Build Award, projects must demonstrate successful application of design-build principles including, but not limited to interdisciplinary collaboration in the early stages of the project and the acceptance of single-entity risk. The goal of completing projects on-time and on-budget (and with no litigation) is not a criterion for winning an award; it is a minimum standard for all projects submitted. Winning projects are honored for the advanced and innovative application of total integrated project delivery and finding unique solutions for project challenges.

Projects deserving a regional award should exemplify the principles of interdisciplinary teamwork, innovation, and problem solving that characterize design-build delivery. These projects frequently "break new ground" in their approach and accomplishments.

NOTIFICATION OF AWARD
Acknowledgement of the DBIA-UM Design-Build Awards winners and finalists will be made in March 2011.
