The DBIA Criteria Architect Program

Join us at Construct Cincinnati 2013 for lunchÂ
       & The Dbia Criteria Architect Program  Maybe it’s time to try a new way of working ….  Design-Build is now law in Ohio. This new law dramatically alters  how public agencies contract for  design and construction services  in the state. HB 153 constitutes the first significant reform of Ohio  construction laws in the past 132 years. The law eliminates the requirement that public entities must use the multiple-prime project… Show more delivery to deliver public projects. Instead, HB 153 allows all state agencies, institutions of higher learning, counties, municipalities, townships, school districts or other political subdivisions as well as any other public agency, authority, board, commission, instrumentality or special purpose district to use the type of project delivery method they prefer for a project, including design-build.
At our lunch presentation, a panel of qualified representatives will describe their experience, including strengths and weaknesses, with the role of Criteria Architect. Panelists will include a representative from the State Architect’s office, an architect, and an attorney, who have worked with this role on design/build projects in Ohio. They will address questions about how the Criteria Architect role functions in successful projects, and what their clients should expect.
Representatives from the Design Build Institute of America will be available to discuss tools that can assist owners and contractors with successfully implementing their first design/build project.
