Recognizing Design-Build Excellence in Kansas City
The 2025 DBIA-Mid America Region Awards brought together teams from across the region at The Gallery in Kansas City’s Power & Light District. It’s always encouraging to see strong project delivery recognized, especially when it involves partners we’ve worked closely with.
Two award-winning projects stood out for us:
Children’s Mercy + Camber Mental Health Wellness Campus (Olathe, KS)
Congratulations to JE Dunn Construction and Hoefer Welker on the win! Alpha-Omega Geotech provided geotechnical engineering and special inspections for this impactful community healthcare project.
Representatives from JE Dunn Construction and Hoefer Welker accepted the DBIA Healthcare award.
8180 Cole Parkway Warehouse (Lenexa, KS)
Congratulations to JDG Construction and Davidson Architecture + Engineering on this design-build win that turned the site of a devastating fire into an opportunity for a new and much improved structure. Our team supported geotechnical groundwork and inspections throughout the project.
JDG Construction and Davidson Architecture + Engineering accepted the small commercial project award.
Thanks to the Project Advocates team for joining us at our luncheon table.
Why Design-Build Matters to Us
Design-build is more than a delivery method. It’s a mindset built around collaboration, shared risk, and earlier alignment between teams. Instead of handing off responsibilities in phases, design-build encourages engineers, architects, and contractors to solve problems together from the start.
For Alpha-Omega Geotech, that means:
- Earlier involvement when site decisions matter most
- Fewer delays from unknown ground conditions
- Clearer communication across the team
- Smoother schedules and more predictable outcomes
That’s why we actively support DBIA-MAR and continue to prioritize design-build partnerships across the region. Learn more about our interest in alternative delivery methods.>>
