Mr. Loulakis is the founder of Capital Project Strategies, LLC, a consulting
firm specializing in providing procurement, contracting, risk management and
contract administration advice to those involved in the construction of both
public and private sector projects. Prior to forming Capital Project Strategies,
Mr. Loulakis had a 28-year career with Wickwire Gavin, a national construction
law firm headquartered in the Washington, D.C., area, where he served as president
and chairman until its merger with Akerman Senterfitt in 2006.
Mr. Loulakis is nationally recognized for his expertise in design-build,
and he has played a leading role on some of the most visible and challenging
design-build and public-private partnership (P3) projects in the country. He
is currently representing the owner of the Dulles Corridor Rail Project, the
largest P3 project being developed in the United States, and is assisting the
Virginia DOT in its P3 program as well. He was a member of the board of directors
of the Design-Build Institute of America (DBIA) for 8 years and served as chairman
of DBIA's Manual of Practice Committee. Mr. Loulakis had principal responsibility
for drafting the DBIA Contracting Guide and DBIA's standard form design-build
contracts and subcontracts.
In addition to his client work on design-build, Mr. Loulakis is a highly
acclaimed speaker and author on project delivery. Among his publications is
a series of books he began writing in 1995 titled Design-Build Lessons Learned,
where Mr. Loulakis reviews all of the caselaw in a given year affecting design-build
relationships. He is also the coauthor of Construction Management: Law & Practice
and author of an interactive CD-ROM program titled Construction Project Delivery
Systems: Evaluating the Owner's Alternatives, produced and distributed by A/E/C
Training Technologies. He received a bachelor of science degree, magna cum laude,
in Civil Engineering from Tufts University in 1976 and a juris doctor degree
from Boston University School of Law in 1979.
