In 1993, some of the industry’s giants gathered in Washington, D.C., to talk about the need for a new organization dedicated to educating the nation and teaching design, construction and engineering professionals about design-build. This year DBIA celebrates its 30th Anniversary and the incredible achievements we’ve seen over those decades. 

In this episode of Design-Build Delivers, DBIA’s National Board Chair, Deb Sheehan, and DBIA Executive Director/CEO, Lisa Washington, look back on an incredible 30 years while also looking forward to what they predict lies ahead.
