SUMMARY:Getting Federal Design-Build Right: The Role of Qualifications-Based Selection
DESCRIPTION:Federal agencies are under increasing pressure to deliver complex facilities faster\, with greater certainty and under tighter oversight. Design-build\, when paired with Qualifications-Based Selection (QBS)\, offers a proven path to meeting these demands while strengthening accountability and performance. \nThis webinar provides a practical\, federal-specific look at how design-build delivery works today\, why QBS aligns squarely with core Federal acquisition principles and how agencies can apply both more effectively. Drawing on lessons learned from recent FBI design-build programs\, Dave Triplett\, DBIA\, Chief Contracting Officer with the FBI\, will examine what works\, what doesn’t and how acquisition decisions made early in the process directly impact post-award execution. \nAfter participating in this webinar\, attendees will be able to: \n\nExplain how design-build delivery is currently used in the Federal sector\, including key differences from traditional procurement approaches and where agencies have the most flexibility.\nDescribe how QBS aligns with Federal acquisition principles\, including best value\, risk management and accountability for performance.\nApply lessons learned from recent FBI design-build programs to inform acquisition planning\, team selection and project oversight decisions.\nIdentify best practices for acquisition strategy development and post-award execution that support successful design-build outcomes in a federal environment.\nRecognize opportunities for innovation within existing and emerging regulatory frameworks\, enabling agencies to deliver complex projects more effectively without compromising compliance.\n\n  \nWhether you are shaping policy\, planning procurements or executing projects\, this session will offer actionable insights to help federal teams deliver better outcomes. \nAttendees can earn 1.0 Continuing Education Hour (CEH) and registration is FREE for DBIA members and only $25 for non-members. \n  \nRegister Now\n  \nThe Design-Build Institute of America (DBIA) represents thousands of diverse organizations and individuals including architects\, engineers\, Owners\, contractors\, manufacturers and more who deliver some of the nation’s most successful projects. As the true authority on Design-Build Done Right®\, we are shaping the future\, one successful collaboration at a time. Learn more.

SUMMARY:Conceptual Estimating – February 9 (Edison\, NJ)
DESCRIPTION:One of the hallmarks of design-build project delivery is early knowledge of costs. This course introduces the fundamentals of conceptual estimating and how to go about assessing risk and calculating costs before design is complete. (6 CEUs) \nAt the end of the course students will be able to: \n\nDescribe the role of the estimator in design-build\nDescribe the various influences affecting building costs\nDescribe the various types of estimates\nDescribe how estimates are organized using standard estimating formats\nExplain how to use an estimating manual\nDescribe how unit prices are developed; explain the fundamental concepts of value engineering\nExplain how to manage and control costs throughout the design process\nDescribe the various checks and balances needed to ensure the reliability of the estimate\n\nRegister Now
