The Design-Build Institute of America defines, teaches, and promotes best practices in design-build project delivery.
SĀJ Architecture Principal Seth Anderson, AIA, NCARB, LEED AP, has successfully completed the Design-Build Institute of America’s comprehensive education, training and certification testing program to achieve the design-build industry’s designation as a nationally certified Associate Design-Build Professional (Assoc. DBIA).
Design-build is a construction project delivery method that combines architectural and engineering services with construction into a single contract.
DBIA Certification is the nation’s only measurable standard of an individual’s knowledge of the association’s Design-Build Done Right® principles vital to successful project delivery. By completing these requirements, which touch on all aspects of design-build, candidates earn the right to display “Assoc. DBIA” after their names, identifying them as experienced design-build professionals.
