How to apply for projects at the Designer Selection Board

The Designer Selection Board (DSB) is an autonomous eleven member board that selects designers for public building construction throughout the Commonwealth.

Eight members are appointed by the Governor, three of whom are registered architects, three registered engineers, and two representatives of the public who are not architect designers, engineers, or construction contractors. Three additional members are appointed by the following professional societies: The Boston Society of Architects (BSA), Massachusetts Society of Professional Engineers (MSPE) and the Associated General Contractors (AGC).

DSB Applicants Please Note

Please be sure to use the lastest forms when applying for State funded projects. It is the responsibility of the Prime applicant to ensure all of their sub-consultants also use the current application forms. Failure to do so will be grounds for the application to be rejected.
