Traditions and Innovation: What You Need to Know About Project Delivery Today

Recorded On: 05/08/2018


Back to Package

The United States construction market continues to thrive.  Yet, as always, the manner in which a particular project is financed, designed, built and, ultimately, even operated and maintained, continues to be scrutinized, with more cost-effective and risk-averse options receiving serious consideration.  Still, if there is a successful track record on a particular type of project delivery, construction project participants  – owners, lenders, sureties, design professionals, construction managers, and general and specialty subcontractors -- are not opposed to utilizing more traditional approaches to build the project.

This virtual seminar presented by Smith, Currie & Hancock attorneys Scott Walters and Sarah Carpenter will discuss two traditional delivery methods -- Design-Build and Construction Management, at Risk – that continue experiencing strong use in this strong market.  The seminar will also cover two emerging delivery methods, Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) and Design, Build, Finance, Operate, and Maintain (DBFOM), discussing their potential impact to construction delivery team members.
