Episode notes

As design-build project delivery methods continue to gain ground in the U.S. construction industry, the DBIA Project and Team Awards have become one of the most coveted - and most misunderstood - recognitions in AEC. In this episode of Spill the Ink, host Steven Gallo sits down with Praful Kulkarni, director of integrated services at CannonDesign and chair of the National DBIA Awards Committee, to pull back the curtain on the judging process. Praful shares what separates winning submissions from the rest, the most common mistakes firms make and why the marketing team should lean on the project manager to help tell the full story.
