DBIA Designation
Designated Design-Build Professional™ Program
Since its inception in 1994, DBIA has been an advocate in pursuing and promoting “Best Practices” in Integrated Project Delivery. As with all organizations, an accepted level of excellence is aspired to.
Today, we have a designation program that sets and maintains a standard of excellence in integrated project delivery. We will soon see the DBIA designation utilized as a weighted selection criteria and part of the RFP project selection process.

Designation creates an accepted and recognized educational standard for experienced, knowledgeable practitioners that possess a qualified and quantified level of expertise in design-build project delivery.
What are the Benefits of Designation?
An individual who successfully completes the requirements of the Program will be appointed as a Designated Design-Build Professional™.
