Building Success: The Crucial Role of Unified Teams in Progressive Design-Build Projects
The first step in a successful progressive design-build (PDB) project is to focus on building a unified team. In traditional design-bid-build projects, the owner, engineer, and contractor often work individually, each driven by their own goals and expectations.

Project Spotlight
University of New Hampshire Water Treatment Plant (NH)
The University of New Hampshire owns and is responsible for operations of a water treatment plant that serves the entire campus as well as the Town of Durham, NH. The original WTP was constructed in the early 1930s, and even though it continued to meet drinking water requirements, UNH decided to build a new facility due to the age of the equipment and structures. In addition to providing clean water for approximately 29,500 people, the design of the new WTP needed to address several unique needs for UNH.
