HB 288 -- Design-Build Contractors Sponsor: Campbell This bill requires design-build contractors to hold a certificate of authority to practice by the State Board of Architects, Professional Engineers, and Land Surveyors. A design-build contractor is any person, corporation, or entity that furnishes architecture, engineering, or surveying services and construction services either directly or by subcontractors. The bill exempts a design-build contractor contracting for public construction projects from certification if the contractor provides architectural, engineering, or surveying services through subcontractors which hold certificates of authority to practice.Copyright (c) Missouri House of Representatives
