What is DBIA? 

“Integration is our Foundation”

Vision

DBIA will be the industry’s preeminent resource for leadership, education, objective expertise and best practices for the successful integrated delivery of capital projects.

Mission

DBIA promotes the value of design-build project delivery and teaches the effective integration of design and construction services to ensure success for owners and design and construction practitioners.

Values

  • Excellence in integrated design-build project delivery, producing high value outcomes.
  • An environment of trust characterized by integrity and honest communication.
  • Mutual respect for and appreciation of diverse perspectives and ideas.
  • A commitment to innovation and creativity to drive quality, value and sustainability.
  • Professionalism, fairness and the highest level of ethical behavior.

The club's primary objective is to further students' understanding of the design-build project delivery method. Throughout the semester we invite guest speakers to discuss Design-Build topics such as project spotlights, BIM Integration, legal concerns in the construction industry, and general design build concepts. We also strive to use our respective skill sets to serve our local community through projects with Habitat for Humanity and Purdue University.
