Project Delivery for Progressive Design Build
SPECIAL EVENT: March 6, 2026, 11:30AM - 1:00PM PT
The American Public Works Association (APWA) Sacramento Chapter invites you to join its monthly meeting, featuring a presentation on Progressive Design Build Project Delivery.
Progressive Design Build (PDB) is a hybrid delivery method that combines the early contractor involvement benefits of construction manager/ general contractor (CM/GC) with the all-inclusive responsibilities of design-build. Unlike CM/GC, with PDB the owner has one contract with the PDB Team for the entire project completion. The owner is better able to influence the design and the PDB Team is able to provide constructability and cost feedback to the owner agency as the design develops.
Led by Griffin Structures leadership, this presentation provides an overview of the Progressive Design Build (PDB) delivery method, grounded in decades of experience delivering complex public-sector projects. Attendees will gain a clear understanding of how PDB differs from traditional delivery models and learn best practices for implementation, including effective risk identification and mitigation strategies.
Presenters:
- Jon Hughes, President of Griffin Structures
- Robert Godfrey, Vice President of Operations at Griffin Structures
