Navigating the Unknowns - Progressive Design-Build in Existing Healthcare Facilities
Grand Ballroom ABCA growing number of Healthcare Systems across the US are adopting Progressive Design-Build (PDB) as a mechanism for improving project outcomes, including for small- to mid-scale renovations within their existing facilities. In many ways, PDB is optimal for these complex, design-sensitive, phasing-intensive projects. In other ways, the challenges inherent to existing healthcare renovations are antithetical to Design-Build best practices: benchmark-resistant project scopes, healthcare teams new to Design-Build, prescriptive facility standards, and ever-changing program needs. This intrinsic tension promotes a sense of grit and tenacity around the core tenants of design-build.
As design-builders with a breadth of experience at this scale in facilities across their region, panelists will share strategies for success, lessons-learned and potential pitfalls for Owners, Designers, GC's and trade partners navigating this expanding landscape within our industry.
