One of the objectives of the Canadian Design-Build Institute (CDBI) is to recommend ‘best practices’ policies and procedures to support design-build utilization. It is therefore a priority for the Institute to develop a practice manual that provides guidance and recommendations on the successful delivery of design-build. These manuals are products of a consensus-building process aimed at balancing the interests of all parties on design-build projects. They reflect recommended industry practices.
These CDBI documents are available for free download:
Document 105 (2016) - Design-Build - Now
Document 115 (2018) - Unique Aspects of Design-Build for Owners
Document 205 (2007) - Methodology Assessment Matrix
