Owners
Owners Council
The DBIA Mid-America Region is a resource for owners who utilize or are interested in learning more about the design-build delivery method. To provide owners with the opportunity to meet with each other to share lessons learned and best practices in design-build, DBIA-MAR has developed an Owners Council. The Owners Council works to determine the most appropriate, effective and timely strategies to address the needs, facilitate the opportunities and minimize the obstacles faced by owners as they seek to understand and utilize the project delivery most appropriate to their needs.
The Owners’ Council is open to owners of private and/or public construction projects – vertical or horizontal. The Council gives owners a chance to network with their peers without pressure from industry practitioners who may be interested in promoting their products and services.
For more information about the Owners Council or to join the Council, please contact our Owners Council Co-Chairs Dan Wehmueller and Doug Wesselschmidt.
