(*This is an Owners-Only Event*)

Please join the Design Build Institute of America - Great Lakes Region for a project
workshop that will be helpful to those responsible for projects under public works laws.  These workshops will assist owners to understand the principals of an integrated approach to projects that will result in better and more positive outcomes.

Attend a workshop to find out how the design-build delivery method can:

Reduce project cost by 5-10%

Aid in completing a project 10-15% faster

Provide more project

Reduce the Owner’s risk

Who should attend??

Over the years, it has become apparent that the traditional “Design-Bid-Build” method for building Projects is not working very well in many cases and Owners are left searching for another option.

· Public is reluctance to approve capital projects

· Projects cost too much

· Cost required to get through a referendum is too great, and the risk is too high

· Cost increases and Project overruns are commonplace

· Owners bear the increased risk for poorly coordinated and incomplete design

· It is every man for themselves: Project members are reactionary in their response to every problem, with everyone blaming someone else, so the Owner is left holding the bag every time

· There are general adversarial relations between all parties involved in the Project, and sometimes the Owner feels like the referee at a football game

If you are a public official, you need to understand there is assistance and hope. The application of an integrated approach provides public Owners the only opportunity, under Indiana law, to qualify and choose all those individuals and firms they want to work with and not be relegated to the inherent problems associated with the historic low-bid selection method.
