From Authorization to Implementation
Design-build is the fastest-growing collaborative delivery method in the U.S., now used on nearly half of all design and construction projects. Owners across the public and private sectors are turning to design-build to deliver greater certainty, speed and accountability.
With the recent passage of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) authorizing Progressive Design-Build (PDB) for federal military construction, the federal sector is at a pivotal moment. The 2026 Federal Design-Build Symposium is where that momentum turns into action.
Join federal agencies and industry leaders for candid lessons learned, proven acquisition strategies and real-world examples of Design-Build Done Right® within the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). Whether you’re implementing PDB today or preparing for what’s next, you’ll leave with the insight and direction needed to move forward with confidence.
