The Design-Build Institute of America (DBIA) is a membership organization that was founded in 1993 to advocate and advance single-source project delivery within the design and construction community. The New York Tri-State Region of the DBIA was founded in 1999 to focus on this objective throughout New York City, Long Island, Westchester County, Southern Connecticut and Northern and Central New Jersey

The design-build method of project delivery embraces architecture, engineering, and construction services under a single contract, thereby re-integrating the roles of designer and constructor. The DBIA New York Tri-State Metro Region’s members include practitioners from all project phases, as well as public and private sector project owners.

The DBIA works to disseminate best practices by hosting and conducting educational programs and conferences throughout the year. In addition, within the New York Tri-State Region, the organization supports and promotes the design-build delivery method through its Annual Awards Dinner, Webinars, and Construction Tours and Networking Events.
