This course has been discontinued.

This 5-hour online course is the first part of a two part comprehensive course that explains how the system works and why it is successful today. The Design-Build project delivery system is growing in popularity in both the private and public sectors of the construction industry. There are a number of market trends as we proceed into the 21st century that favor this project delivery system over the currently traditional system of design-bid-build. An integrated approach and renewed focus on innovation places the design-build project delivery system in a unique position to address the current challenges that the construction industry faces.

This course provides you with a review of how the Design-Build project delivery system has emerged today and compares and contrasts it with other current methods that are being utilized. The course will then take you through the specific strategies and tactics that make it successful. These steps include formation of the design-build team, responsibilities of the owner, responsibilities of the design-builder, performance specifications for design-build projects, and the complete design-build procurement process.

There is a test included at the end of each scenario.
Vector Solutions has a long history of providing industry-specific content for its customers. While this course and its content remain accurate and functional within our systems, the look and feel may not match our more modern offerings.
