SUMMARY:Breakfast Seminar: De-Risking Design–Bid–Build Project Delivery
DESCRIPTION:Practical Strategies for Owners\, Contractors & Advisers\nWhile alternative contract models have gained popularity in recent years\, Design–Bid–Build (DBB) continues to be the preferred project delivery method in Manitoba. \nDespite its widespread use across the construction industry\, DBB carries inherent risks. Experienced owners and contractors are likely familiar with DBB projects that have gone wrong – often due to design gaps\, unclear scope\, misaligned assumptions or poorly defined bid packages and evaluations. \nThe MLT Aikins construction group and Colliers Project Leaders are pleased to host a joint breakfast seminar exploring common pitfalls of DBB and practical strategies to de-risk projects before issues escalate. Through real-world examples and engaging discussion\, our speakers will share actionable insights to help improve DBB project outcomes. \nWhat we’ll explore:\n\nBrief overview of the DBB model and ideal use cases\nRoot causes of project risk in DBB implementation\nHow to reduce risk and uncertainty before pricing\nUsing the bid process to select the right constructor\nManaging liquidated damages and other risk transfer in the DBB context\n\nWho should attend?\n\nIn-house counsel to business procurement and construction delivery services\nLeadership teams for project owners and developers\nProject managers and contract administrators\nGeneral contractors\nProcurement and strategic sourcing professionals\n\nSpeakers:\n\nAndrew Konopelny\, partner\, MLT Aikins\nCurtis Krul\, Senior Advisor – Collaborative & Lean Project Delivery\, Colliers Project Leaders\n\nEvent details:\n\nDate: Monday\, March 16\, 2026\n\nBreakfast: 6:45–7:30 a.m.\nPresentation & panel: 7:30–9:30 a.m.\n\n\nLocation: Norwood Hotel (112 Marion Street\, Winnipeg)\nCost: $50/person\, includes hot-breakfast\nSpace is limited.
