GRUNLEY CONSTRUCTION STAFF MEMBER ATTAINS NATIONAL DBIA DESIGNATION
Rockville, MD - Mr. Kevin R. Mitchell, Director of Construction Services for the Special Projects Division, has successfully completed the requirements for the nationally recognized Designated Design-Build Professional™ designation. The Design-Build Institute of America (DBIA) awarded designated status to Mr. Mitchell after passing DBIA’s formal examination that was administered on March 14, 2008.
DBIA’s designation program seeks to recognize industry professionals who demonstrate a practical level of knowledge and hands-on experience in design-build project delivery. Through the examination, DBIA establishes a uniform measure of proficiency that practitioners, owners and clients can use in selecting qualified design-build professionals.
Successful completion of the exam as well as three years substantial design-build work experience is required to earn the Designated Design-Build Professional™ designation. Additionally, candidates must meet DBIA’s educational requirements, must have completed DBIA’s three core courses along with 18 elective credits related directly to project delivery, and must submit three letters of reference. Those who complete these requirements earn the right to display “DBIA” after their names, identifying them to design-build end-users and the community at-large as experienced professionals in design-build project delivery. To maintain the designated status individuals agree to earn a minimum of 24 hours of continuing education credit every two years.
