Shannon & Wilson’s Martin Page Attains National Design-Build Certification

Seattle, WA, October 27, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Martin Page, PE, LEG, DBIA, of Shannon & Wilson has successfully completed the requirements for the nationally recognized Designated Design-Build Professional™ certification. The Design-Build Institute of America (DBIA) awarded designated status to Page upon his successful completion of coursework and formal examination in all aspects of design-build project delivery. By completing these requirements, candidates earn the right to display “DBIA” after their names, identifying them to design-build end-users and the industry at large as professionals experienced in this form of project delivery.

“I am excited about the DBIA certification because it conveys to my clients the message that I am capable and enthusiastic about providing innovative and creative solutions to our design-build teams and project owners,” said Page.

DBIA certification demonstrates commitment to design-build done right. These design and construction professionals have mastered the best practices associated with the entire design-build process—from project procurement through post-award. Both A/E/C firms and public agencies train personnel from a variety of disciplines and departments in the best-practices developed by DBIA.

Three years substantial design-build work experience is an additional prerequisite for Designated Design-Build Professional™ certification. Maintaining the credential requires a minimum of 24 hours of continuing education credit every two years.
