They discuss the two fundamental design-build approaches and how they impact the designer. The session explains how to select a design-build project and what to look for in a potential partner. The panelists will review key agreements that need to be in place during the pursuit while a partner is being selected, and key points that need to be incorporated into the project agreements after the project award.
