In this bonus episode of Design-Build Delivers, we continue the conversation from April’s feature, Living Labs and Inclusive Housing: How Design-Build Serves Higher Education. Jason Dunster, Senior Integrated Design Director at McCarthy Building Companies, returns to share additional insights on what made UC Riverside’s North District Phase Two project a model for inclusive, collaborative campus housing.
Jason digs into contract structures, risk allocation and the real-world application of design-build best practices, especially when speed, access and innovation are on the line. He also discusses how prefabrication played a critical role in accelerating construction without compromising on quality or stakeholder alignment.
Whether you're a veteran design-builder or exploring collaborative delivery for the first time, this conversation offers valuable takeaways on Owner readiness, progressive design-build and the future of delivery in higher education.
