Here’s The Drill: Introducing The New CCDC 32 – 2026 Progressive Design-Build Contract

What is CCDC 32?

CCDC 32 is the first standardized progressive-design-build contract published by the CCDC. It allows the owner and design-builder to work together to develop the project before a final price is agreed on. The project is delivered in two phases. First, the parties work together to further develop the design, budget, schedule, and project details. Once the owner approves the final proposal and price, the second phase begins and the design-builder completes the construction work. This approach provides greater flexibility and helps establish a clearer understanding of the project before construction starts. CCDC 32 is designed to operate alongside CCDC 33, the companion service contract under which the design-builder engages its consultant to provide the design services required by the project.
