Washington, D.C., July 31, 2013

The Design-Build Institute of America (DBIA), the only organization that defines, teaches and promotes best practices in design-build, today announced the 2013 Design-Build Project Award Winners, recognized for exemplary collaboration and integration in project delivery. Evaluated by a distinguished panel of industry experts, the award-winning projects were selected for demonstrating advanced and innovative project delivery, in addition to achieving budget and schedule goals and exceeding owner expectations.

The 2013 Design-Build Project Awards showcase design-build best practices and celebrate the achievements of owners and design-build teams in 10 categories across the spectrum of horizontal and vertical construction. These categories include civic, commercial, correctional facilities, industrial/process/research facilities, educational facilities, healthcare, office, rehabilitation/renovation/restoration, transportation and water/wastewater.

“These winning projects exemplify the principles of interdisciplinary teamwork, innovation and problem solving and are shining examples of what can be accomplished through effective collaboration in design-build delivery,” says Lisa Washington, CAE, Executive Director/CEO, DBIA. “The 2013 Design-Build Project Awards serve to celebrate the people and projects that demonstrate what design-build done right can achieve to advance our industry and our economy.”
