Design-Build Projects

​​WisDOT's​ Design-Build Program is a collaborative contracting process that​​ brings the engineering and construction industries together at the outset of a highway improvement project. Traditionally in Wisconsin, these processes have always been separated, where a designer plans the project and a construction company will then execute on those plans.
