The seminar focuses on the issues facing mechanical contractors who are interested in improving or starting design-build (D-B) operations. The eight-hour, one-day seminar will cover background and trend information on D-B versus other project delivery systems: resources and infrastructure required for D-B operations; planning, designing, and managing D-B projects: and successful D-B marketing strategies.
