Design-build projects don't really have a set budget...under budget means the DOT still has money in the bank, and we can run a life cycle cost scenario that says we saved money over traditional design-bid-build. Pay a few million more now and you save 10 million on the back end. I actually really believe in design-build, but the certification and qualifications process is kinda bullshit. If you have more DB projects in your portfolio you're hugely advantaged to get the next one- so it's in our best interest to get as many people as possible involved so they can write it off as experience. I've been part of 4 DB projects- I've set foot on one.

I should add the disclaimer- "it's been my experience." Minnesota is really good about getting funding for better work, other states and municipalities may not have the budget flexibility we enjoyed.

We are just getting into it at the county I work for. We have a couple of pilot projects that we intend to put through the process. But they are hoping to move in that direction with more projects that are appropriate for it. So they are looking at getting many of us certified. I think the process is great over DBB and am curious how the county will integrate into the current work processes.

YEs, but they cut 1/3 of the scope to stay in budget. Still LOOKS good, it just dosen't meet all the needs now.
