==Growth of design–build method==
A 2011 study analyzing the design–build project delivery method in the United States shows design–build was used on about 40 percent of non-residential construction projects in 2010, a ten percent increase since 2005. The study was commissioned by the Design-Build Institute of America (DBIA) and was completed by RSMeans Reed Construction Data Market Intelligence.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dbia.org/resource-center/Pages/Report-by-RCD-RSMeans-Market-Intelligence.aspx|title=Report by Reed Construction Data/RSMeans Market Intelligence|work=dbia.org|access-date=2014-04-08|archive-date=2016-06-19|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160619152341/http://dbia.org/resource-center/Pages/Report-by-RCD-RSMeans-Market-Intelligence.aspx|url-status=dead}}</ref>

A study from the US Department of Transportation claims that: "Design-build delivery has been steadily increasing in the U.S. public building sector for more than 10 years, but it is still termed experimental in transportation. To date, under Special Experimental Project 14 (SEP-14) the FHWA has approved the use of design–build in more than 150 projects, representing just over half of the States. The European countries visited have used design–build delivery for a longer time than the United States and provided the scan team with many valuable insights. The primary lessons learned on this scan tour relate to the types of projects using design–build, the use of best-value selection, percentage of design in the solicitation, design and construction administration, third-party risks, the use of warranties, and the addition of maintenance and operation to design–build contracts."<ref>US Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration, International Programs, [https://international.fhwa.dot.gov/contractadmin/04.cfm Chapter 4 – Contract Administration: Technology and Practice in Europe]</ref>
