Dr. Bryan Franz and his collaborator, Dr. Carrie Dossick from the University of Washington, received a $383K research award from the Charles Pankow Foundation for their project titled “Owner Readiness Assessment for Design-Build Projects.” Research will identify the competencies (e.g., staff knowledge, skills, and abilities) and capacities (e.g., data management procedures, technology) needed by owner organizations to manage key categories of risks on design-build projects.
