Design Build is rapidly becoming one of the most commonly used project delivery methods in the construction industry. The United States Corp of Engineers (USACE) has started implementing its own version of Design Build with the introduction of Military Transformation in April 2005. Per the Department of the Army (2008) Military Transformation is a term employed by the Corps to implement the use of alternate project
delivery method as a means of achieving best value. The United States Air Force (AF)
and the Air Force Reserve Command (AFRC) are expected to establish a target of 75% of
all future Military Construction Projects (MILCONs) executed when using the Design
Build method. The use of this delivery method results in significant changes to the
relationships between the various parties associated with facility project delivery
compared to the traditional Design Bid Build method. AFRC construction project
procedures and requirements must also change.
