Progressive Design-Build Delivery transforms the &#8216;model&#8217; through Levels of Delivery (LODs) throughout the project lifecycle.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The model is the centralized system of information that all project stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle utilize. A centralized system of information digitally maintained ensures the &#8216;as-built&#8217; aligns with the &#8216;as-designed&#8217; and that the operations and maintenance phase goes more smoothly with access to this information.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.projectp.com\/ppblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Screen-Shot-2022-06-24-at-3.45.04-PM.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/www.projectp.com\/ppblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Screen-Shot-2022-06-24-at-3.45.04-PM-1024x577.png\" alt=\"Progress Design-Build Delivery\" class=\"wp-image-2919\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.projectp.com\/ppblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Screen-Shot-2022-06-24-at-3.45.04-PM-1024x577.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.projectp.com\/ppblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Screen-Shot-2022-06-24-at-3.45.04-PM-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.projectp.com\/ppblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Screen-Shot-2022-06-24-at-3.45.04-PM-768x433.png 768w, https:\/\/www.projectp.com\/ppblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Screen-Shot-2022-06-24-at-3.45.04-PM.png 1072w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The use of BIM as the centralized system of information is a clear trend for both infrastructure and building design and construction projects.
