Study Notes
- Architecture projects require an understanding of delivery approach options, as the roles and responsibilities of the builder can vary greatly in different methods.
- Traditional delivery approach, now called design-bid-build, assigns each player a clear role: owner hires and pays architect, architect creates and places contract documents for bid, general contractor assembles sub-trades and submits bids, and lowest bidder constructs the project.
- Construction management emerged in response to the need for speedier project completion during the late 1970s credit crunch, leading to asynchronous construction of individual project pieces.
- Liability crisis of the 1980s pushed architects away from job site responsibilities and forced contractors to assume more risks in exchange for larger project fees.
- Consolidation of design and construction responsibilities into a single entity, known as design-build, was a response to the need for in-depth construction advice during design and frequent disputes between architects and contractors.
- The building industry has evolved to include increasingly complex building forms, prefabricated construction subassemblies, integrated building control systems, and sustainable design requirements.
- Integrated project delivery is a new model that emphasizes closer collaboration and open sharing of information between key building enterprise constituents, underpinned by digital design information and technology.
- Project delivery methods involve three elemental parties: owner, architect, and contractor, each with distinct roles, expertise, and expectations.
- Owner: the individual or entity initiating a building project, usually the eventual owner or operator, holds contracts with architect and contractor, and is responsible for making payments and construction funding. Owner's expertise and expectations can vary widely based on the project's complexity.
