Holt Construction Joins DBIA Panel on Aviation Design-Build Delivery

Construction Owners Editorial Team

Complex aviation projects require close coordination among owners, designers and builders to manage competing requirements for constructability, cost and schedule. Holt Construction recently participated in an industry discussion focused on how those factors are addressed through design-build delivery.

Aviation Design-Build Coordination

Holt Construction Field Director Robert Kipp participated in the DBIA NYC Metro Region NextGen event, which examined approaches to delivering complex aviation projects through design-build.

The Aug. 5 event brought together industry professionals to discuss the role of collaboration and innovation in aviation construction. Topics included coordinating design requirements with constructability, project budgets, schedules and stakeholder priorities.

Focus on Complex Project Delivery

The discussion highlighted the coordination required across project teams when delivering aviation facilities. Design-build delivery places design and construction considerations within a coordinated process, making early communication and alignment important to project execution.

For contractors working in aviation, these considerations can affect planning, sequencing and coordination throughout the delivery process.

Why It Matters

Aviation projects often involve multiple stakeholders and operational constraints, making coordination a significant component of construction delivery. Industry discussions such as the DBIA NextGen event provide contractors and project owners with a forum to examine how design-build practices can address those requirements.
