The Design-Build Institute of America (DBIA) announced the 2024 National Design-Build Project/Team Award Winners. Sixty-three projects from across the United States — and one in Antarctica — were submitted for consideration across 10 categories.
Submissions were evaluated by a distinguished panel of industry experts. Merit Award winners will now compete for a National Award of Excellence, "Best of" categories and Project of the Year.
"As design-build approaches nearly half of all construction spending, we continue to see extraordinary projects that raise the bar for design-build teams across the country, pushing the limits of high performance and optimizing triple-bottom line success," DBIA Executive Director/CEO Lisa Washington said.
Merit winners will be recognized and additional winners announced at DBIA's Design-Build Conference & Expo Awards Ceremony Nov. 7, 2024, in Dallas, Texas.
