In this episode of the Design-Build Delivers Podcast, we revisit Progressive Design-Build (PDB) with industry leader Geoff Neumayr, who recently retired as Chief Development Officer at San Francisco International Airport. Geoff shares his insights on how PDB –– and design-build broadly –– is driving meaningful change across the industry.
From the early days of PDB at SFO to its current role in modernizing infrastructure, Geoff dives deep into the human side of construction, emphasizing the importance of psychological safety, social engagement and purpose-driven projects. He also addresses common misconceptions about PDB, highlighting its strengths and challenges, and he takes a crack at predicting the future of design-build.
This episode goes beyond the technicalities of PDB, exploring how it impacts communities and the people who live and work in them. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or new to the concept, this conversation offers valuable perspectives on why PDB continues to be a hot topic in the industry.
