In Xcode 8.x I set the derivedData directory with a command line option in a .sh file that builds the project. Developers can build into their user directories (default Xcode preference), while the official build creates the build in the traditional area:

SCRIPT_DIR="$( cd "$( dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" )" && pwd )"

xcodebuild -workspace 'my project.xcworkspace' -scheme 'my project' -configuration Release -derivedDataPath '$SCRIPT_DIR/build'
