PDB approach reshapes project logistics involvement in civil sector

One of the more significant long-term trends in the global civil engineering sector, particularly relevant to project logistics providers, is the growing adoption of progressive design-build (PDB). This project delivery method promotes early collaboration between the design and construction phases to help mitigate delays and cost overruns. The shift is broadly welcomed by logisticians, who have long advocated for earlier and closer coordination across project stakeholders, writes Phil Hastings.
