Carl Galioto President and Managing Principal of New York Studio HOK
In New York City, there’s a big shift to public private partnerships and design-build “for many significant public projects” like those owned by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, the New York state Dormitory Authority and the city’s Dept. of Design and Construction, says Galioto. “A lower capital contribution to the projects by the public sector” is one reason, he says. Design-build also “offers clients a much higher degree of certainty of cost and schedule” and can make for easier project management.
