Design-Build Institute Announces Lifetime Achievement Award Winner

Quatman founded the Mid-America Region of DBIA, which started the “regional” concept of DBIA chapters, still used today. He has authored dozens of articles, including a series on design-build ethics published by DBIA, and he is the author of many of the DBIA contract forms, including the entire bond series, the BIM, Sustainable and Insurance Exhibits, and the new DBOM Exhibit. He also initiated and authored the DBIA Code of Conduct and has spoken at over 20 local, regional and national DBIA conferences. A past national board chair and outgoing national board member, Bill has led many of DBIA’s key initiatives for many decades. 

DBIA sources report the Institute is planning the most expansive Virtual Design-Build Conference & Expo possible. There will be seven tracks of education, federal sector pre-conference sessions, a virtual Technology Pavilion, access to what are described as the best design-build exhibitors in the nation, and creative networking opportunities to bring this annual Conference & Expo directly to attendees.

The opening keynote address will be presented by John Foley, a former Blue Angel Lead Solo Pilot.

• Forming a great design-build "dream team".
