Gray, una firma de construcción y diseño con sede en Lexington, publicó un documento técnico que examina la creciente adopción del método de entrega design-build en proyectos industriales, basándose en investigaciones de organizaciones como el Design-Build Institute of America y la Construction Industry Institute. El documento destaca que el modelo design-build permite tomar decisiones de diseño, adquisiciones, construcción y operaciones más temprano en el ciclo del proyecto, cuando los propietarios tienen mayor oportunidad de influir en los resultados. Según proyecciones de la industria, el design-build representará casi la mitad del gasto total en construcción en los próximos años, y los datos recientes sugieren que estas proyecciones van en camino.

LEXINGTON, Ky. — Gray, a Lexington-based construction and design firm, has released a new whitepaper examining the rapidly expanding adoption of design-build delivery methods across industrial projects, according to the Lane Report.
The paper, drawing on research from industry organizations including the Design-Build Institute of America, the Construction Industry Institute, and the Associated General Contractors, highlights evidence showing that design-build delivery can improve critical phases of projects from inception through turnover.
Founded in 1960 and based in Lexington, Gray examined how the design-build model enables design, procurement, construction, and operations decisions to be made earlier in the project lifecycle, when owners have the greatest opportunity to influence outcomes.
“Industrial projects today face a level of complexity that requires more than simply managing individual scopes of work,” said Stephen Gray, President & CEO of Gray, Inc. “Integrated project delivery models are proving more than capable and why so many owners are turning to design-build as a strategic approach.”
The whitepaper documents design-build’s evolution from an alternative method into a mainstream approach. Industry forecasts project design-build will account for nearly half of all construction spending in the coming years, with recent data suggesting those projections are on track.
In design-build, an owner enters into a single contract covering both architectural design services and physical construction, streamlining collaboration and coordination. Research shows projects are completed faster and more cost-effectively compared to traditional delivery methods.
Rebekah Gray, President & CEO of Gray Construction, emphasized the collaborative advantages: “The most successful projects bring together technical, operational, and construction perspectives early in the process to influence outcomes. Design-build creates a framework for that collaboration.”
The whitepaper also explores design-build’s role in addressing modern project challenges, including permitting complexity, long-lead procurement, workforce shortages, tariff uncertainty, and increasing demand for faster delivery to market. Gray said clear data from independent research and a large body of successful work underscore design-build’s bright future.
