Federal agencies may be approaching collaborative project delivery from different starting points. Some are preparing to implement newly authorized Progressive Design-Build (PDB) for military construction, while others are exploring how existing FAR authorities and Qualifications-Based Selection (QBS) can help achieve many of the same outcomes.

Those conversations will be front and center at the 2026 Federal Design-Build Symposium, where federal agencies and industry leaders will share practical lessons learned and discuss what successful implementation looks like across the federal sector.

From Authorization to Implementation

The Federal Design-Build Symposium is the only federal design-build event and offers unique access to industry leaders and agency leads in the federal sector.

This day-and-a-half event provides opportunities for targeted design-build education, candid conversations and meaningful networking for design-build team members in the federal marketplace. DBIA is committed to providing industry, federal agencies and the programs they fund in states nationwide with the innovative tools, design-build best practices and Federal policy insights needed to build high-performance teams.
