Presented by:
Andrew D. Mendelson, FAIA, EVP, Chief Risk Management Officer, Berkley Design Professional

Monday, October 16, 2023

Andy Mendelson, FAIA, executive vice president and chief risk management officer, will be presenting at the 2023 ACEC Fall Conference in Austin, Texas on Monday, October 16.

Andy will present “Risky Business: Making the Go/No-Go Decision on Design-Build Projects”.

Session Description

Because Design-Build is a more risky form of project delivery, it is essential to establish a Go/No-Go process to objectively evaluate your opportunities. Analyzing and understanding the conditions of the project and the capabilities of the design-build team are critical to making informed decisions in the pursuit and implementation of these projects. This practice-focused workshop addresses the identification of key factors in making the Go/No-Go decision on Design-Build projects, and offers a flexible yet strategic approach that encourages active thought and discussion to reach a reasonable conclusion.
