Prepared by the Engineers Joint Contract Documents Committee (EJCDC).

D-451, Qualifications Statement—Design-Build (2026), is a comprehensive document designed to assist project owners in evaluating the qualifications of prospective Design-Builders for construction projects. It provides a standardized framework for gathering detailed information about the Design-Builder’s team organization, experience, personnel, certifications, safety records, financial stability, and quality management plans. The document is adaptable to specific project needs and can be used in one-step or two-step procurement processes. It ensures clarity, compliance with legal regulations, and effective coordination between project owners and Design-Build teams, including engineers, constructors, and subcontractors. Available for purchase, it is an essential tool for streamlining the selection process and ensuring project success.

EJCDC includes the American Society of Civil Engineers, the American Council of Engineering Companies, the National Society of Professional Engineers, and the participation of more than fifteen other professional engineering design, construction, owner, legal, and risk management organizations.

EJCDC documents are delivered in Microsoft Word format (file extension *.docx) and sometimes Microsoft Excel format (file extension *.xlsx). Microsoft Word and Excel are required if you wish to edit the files.
