Design–build (or design/build, and abbreviated D–B or D/B accordingly), also known as alternative delivery, [1] is a project delivery system used in the construction industry. It is a method to deliver a project in which the design and construction services are contracted by a single entity known as the design–builder or design–build ...
Design–build–finance–operate-maintain (DBFOM) [10] [11] also referred to as Design–build–finance–maintain-operate (DBFMO) [12] [13] is a project delivery method very similar to BOOT except that there is no actual ownership transfer. Moreover, the contractor assumes the risk of financing until the end of the contract period.

After years of discussions with peers, Preston Haskell invited Jim Gray [3] and other executives from major design-build companies to meet in Washington for a dinner to discuss the formation of an organization to represent their interests. That evening in February 1993 was the start of DBIA and Haskell became the first chairman of the board.
If speed is important, design and construction contracts can be awarded separately; bidding takes place on preliminary plans in a not-to-exceed contract instead of a single firm design-build contract. The major problem [11] with design-build contracts is an inherent conflict of interest. In a standard contract the architect works for the owner ...
The BIM manager is retained by a design build team on the client's behalf from the pre-design phase onwards to develop and to track the object-oriented BIM against predicted and measured performance objectives, supporting multi-disciplinary building information models that drive analysis, schedules, take-off and logistics.
The engineering design process, also known as the engineering method, is a common series of steps that engineers use in creating functional products and processes. The process is highly iterative – parts of the process often need to be repeated many times before another can be entered – though the part(s) that get iterated and the number of such cycles in any given project may vary.
