Design-build is growing rapidly, now making up 42% of construction spending and expected to reach nearly 50% by 2028, driven by its cost and schedule efficiencies and flexible procurement methods like Best-Value and Progressive Design-Build. As the use of design-build continues to grow, understanding its best practices and challenges is crucial.

The Florida Design-Build Conference, June 15-17, 2026, in Orlando, FL, is an exclusive opportunity to share your design-build insights and adapt to changes in project delivery. This event will help Owners confidently navigate design-build amidst market uncertainties and address industry challenges. DBIA invites experts — Owners, practitioners and other professionals — to contribute. Last year, approximately 500 AEC professionals came together to learn and network at the 2025 Florida Design- Build Conference. Please consider submitting a session proposal to influence the future of design- build.
