More 3 keys to attaining quality with design-build projects Finance & Commerce Share
With any construction project, there are three major concerns for those involved: cost, schedule and quality. One way to address these concerns is by using the increasingly popular design-build construction method. Design-build is a process where the design and construction of a project is delivered through one contract between the owner and the design-build team. While the design-build team may include subcontractors, the major single contract between the owner and the overall project team encourages collaboration and fosters the creation of a better product.

From the DBIA-Ohio Valley Region: Design-build work goes to Indiana where the laws permit it DBIA-Ohio Valley Region Share
Gov. Steve Beshear joined Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels and U.S. Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood in a ceremonial groundbreaking for a long-awaited project to replace the aged Ohio River bridge that connects the neighbor states at Milton, Ky., and Madison, Ind. The Milton-Madison Bridge, completed in December 1929, replaced ferries and today carries U.S. 421 over the Ohio River. The bridge represented a leap forward in transportation but no longer meets modern standards. The replacement bridge will be built with construction innovations that will allow completion in far less time, for far less money and with less public disruption than was first estimated.
