Construction / Civil Engineering
English term or phrase: Design-Build
Context: The initial acquisition strategy involved large, international firms, to provide program management and Design-Build (DB) services.

"Design-Build" seems to refer to a specific type of project in which the same bidder both designs and builds (see Design-Build in Wikipedia). I have found a few examples of translated docuements where the English term is used in Portguese texts but I am wondering if there is a standard Portguese equivalent.
