Progressive Design-Build (PDB) refers to the way a construction project design is developed by the Owner and the Design-Builder in a step-by-step process. After an unsuccessful attempt using the traditional Design-Bid-Build (DBB) project delivery method, Tipton chose to use the progressive design-build model to support their objectives and budget. Like many communities around the nation, the County needed to replace an aging and overcrowded jail that no longer met their needs. In 2018, Tipton County, a community in north central Indiana, broke ground on one of the most significant County building projects since 1895.
