SAME is presenting a series of
Design–Build Workshops with a special focus on improving communications between design-build
end users,
construction
agents, architects/engineers and contractors to better facilitate the solicitation and execution of
DOD
design-build projects. Best practices applicable to DOD projects will be discussed, with examples
provided
of
current design–build success stories and lessons learned.
These special 2½- day workshops will be presented by
Ms. Leandra Thompson, DBIA, Northstar Project Management. [Click here to read Ms.
Thompson’s résumé in PDF format.] There will be both lectures and practical exercises.
The Workshops will...

Risk, Bridging and D–B), to portray D–B as one of the several options available;
...
provide a forum for presentation of DB best practices as drawn
from DBIA and other
publications, as they apply to DOD projects;
...

can be written to minimize
cost
and risk, and optimize contractor innovation, while meeting governmental requirements.
