In this deep dive from Workspace Design Lab, retired Gensler architect Michael Rane Downey explains the real differences between design-bid-build, design-assist, and design-build, and why trust is the foundation of every successful project. Drawing from decades of experience on both coasts, he breaks down how contractual structures impact risk, communication, cost, and timelines.

But this isn’t just about process. Michael reveals how early client engagement through visioning sessions, program development, and budget transparency shapes better design outcomes. If you're a workspace leader, architect, or facilities manager, this clip is essential viewing to avoid costly mistakes and build smarter.

In This Clip:
• The difference between design-bid-build, design-assist, and design-build
• Why trust (or lack of it) drives your project delivery model
• What to include in a productive visioning session
• How to balance subjective taste with objective requirements
