Fitzpatrick of Syska Hennessy Group earns certification from DBIA

Manhattan, NY Keith Fitzpatrick, PE, CEM, LEED AP, a senior principal at the global engineering firm Syska Hennessy Group, has earned national certification as a Designated Design-Build Professional from the Design-Build Institute of America (DBIA).

DBIA certification is the nation’s only measurable standard of an individual’s knowledge of the Design-Build Done Right principles vital to successful project delivery. By completing these requirements, which touch on all aspects of design-build, candidates earn the right to display “DBIA” after their names, identifying them as experienced design-build professionals.

“In recent years, Syska has completed several design-build projects, and our clients have welcomed this streamlined and cost-effective approach,” said Fitzpatrick. “We believe that demand for design-build projects will continue to rise, especially as the costs of construction increase. With my DBIA certification in hand, I can help our clients maximize these opportunities.”

Lisa Washington, DBIA executive director and CEO, reports that many public and private owner solicitations now expressly encourage the inclusion of team members with DBIA certification in their expanding number of design-build projects.

“I and several of my colleagues have now earned DBIA designations,” Fitzpatrick said. “We are eager to put them to use.”
