The Design-Build Institute of America (DBIA) has released its 2005 Publications Catalog, describing the institute's publications for the design and construction community that provide guidance on how to execute the design-build project delivery method effectively. Authored by some of the most highly respected experts in the design-build movement, the manuals, guides, and contractual documents featured in the catalog are some of the most informative materials available on the construction method.

In addition to classic DBIA bestsellers such as the Design-Build Manual of Practice, Design-Build Model Contracts, and Design-Build - Planning Through Development, the catalog features five new publications that not only address design-build, but alos provide guidance in other related areas of design and construction. These include The Field Guide for Sustainable Construction, Construction Management Jump Start, and Design-Build/Operate.
