P&A is a founding member of Leading Construction Lawyers International Alliance (LCL), which is pleased to announce the release of “Design-Build: An International Perspective on Best Practices for Sustained Design-Build Success.” This insightful publication, potentially the first of its kind in our field, represents a significant milestone offering a comprehensive look at design-build practices from a global perspective. It draws from the experiences of a wide range of industry participants operating around the globe, including design-builders, public and private owners and developers, and professional service providers, including architects and engineers.

This publication is the product of a multi-year analysis facilitated and led by LCL, consistent with LCL’s mission of sharing knowledge and insights to enhance the global construction and infrastructure community. Roundtable discussions took place among three distinct working groups – (1) design-builders; (2) design professionals; and (3) owner developers. After each group worked independently, the three groups came together for joint sessions during which common challenges faced in design-build projects were identified and critical factors that contribute to success or failure were explored.
