Design-Build (DB) is a construction project delivery method where the hiring organization contracts with one team to design and build the facility. There are three types of Design-Build, including progressive, traditional, and bridging. Progressive Design-Build (PDB) involves the design-build team in the early stages of the development of the project, ensuring they are part of the project team and design process to maximize collaboration between the owner, designer, and contractor.
Progressive Design-Build is currently the only type of Design-Build that can be accommodated by the School Construction Assistance Program (SCAP). See Chapter 4, Section ??? for more information. In addition, PDB projects that apply for SCAP funding must be front-funded (see Chapter 4, Section 403).
