Serving through Building: Sustainable Houses for the Ngobe People in Cieneguita, PanamaIntroduction and BackgroundThe Ngobe people are a native tribe to Cieneguita, Panama who often live in provisional homescomprised of walls made of sticks and floors made of dirt which are not structurally sound andtherefore are often susceptible to failure. Previous research at Auburn University initiated abasic design for a more stable structure to be constructed in these villages based on an extensivestudy of the local region’s available resources. The basic design of this structure focused onlocation appropriate materials, cultural sensitivity, sustainability, ventilation and cooling,rainwater collection, aesthetic design development

In addition, there isan expectation within the construction industry of 18% growth in the use of Design-Builddelivery method over the years of 2018 to 2021 [2]. Design-Build can be considered a morecollaborative delivery method than Design-Bid-Build due to the engagement of contractor anddesigner during the initial development of a project. The rise in use of more collaborativedelivery methods, such as Design-Build, Construction Management at Risk, Integrated ProjectDelivery, as well as previous research [3], [4] indicates the need for improving collaborationfrom an industry perspective.
