On behalf of the Design-Build Institute of America, it is our great pleasure to welcome you as a member of the newly created DBIA NYC Metro Region, a region formed in direct response to the unprecedented growth in design-build across our area by major public agencies and the passage of key legislation supporting collaborative project delivery. Our region includes New York City Five Boroughs – Westchester, Long Island and Northern New Jersey (defined as Bergen, Essex, Hudson counties).
These markets reflect a powerful concentration of design and construction expertise that is actively advancing best practices in project delivery. The formation of this region is both a reflection of our community’s strength and a bold step forward for design-build in one of the nation’s most dynamic, high-potential markets.
As a member of the DBIA NYC Metro Region, you are part of a community that is shaping the future of project delivery in New York and beyond. We are confident that this new region will foster even more collaboration, growth and success for our members.
