    Study Notes

    Introduction

    • The construction industry is changing due to social, environmental, and economic factors.
    • Multiple project delivery methods exist, each with their own features, benefits, and drawbacks.
    • The integration of design and construction activities has increased due to technological advancements in BIM and process innovations in IPD and P3s.
    • Architects are responsible for the design, alteration, and expansion of buildings.

    Design-Bid-Build

    • The most common project delivery method.
    • The owner hires an architect for design and a contractor for construction through competitive bidding.
    • The architect administers the construction contract and oversees the project.

    Advantages:

    • Direct contractual relationship between the owner and the construction manager.
    • Constructability and cost advice are available to the design team during design.
    • Fast-tracking the project schedule is possible.
    • Careful monitoring of costs and schedule can occur.

    Disadvantages

    • Project work can begin before total costs are known.
    • Selection of an additional consultant can increase time and cost.
    • Complex relationships require additional communication.
    • The owner has less control over the final cost.
    • Conflicts of interest may arise.
    • Multiple construction contracts increase administrative costs and coordination problems.

    Design-Build

    • The owner contracts with a single entity for both design and construction.
    • The design team is retained by the design-builder.
    • The design-builder is responsible for both design and construction, typically under a single contract.

    Integrated Project Delivery (IPD)

    • A collaborative approach involving all project stakeholders, including the owner, architect, engineers, and major trades.
    • Aims to break down communication barriers between design and construction.
    • Encourages collaboration through executive, planning, and implementation teams.

    Four Major Phases

    • Validation: Objectives, scope, quality, costs, schedule, and feasibility are determined.
    • Design: Design activities are coordinated and implementation is planned.
    • Implementation: Construction is overseen by the project management team. Lean construction methods are promoted.
    • Warranty: Deficiencies are resolved and the risk pool is distributed.

    Design-Build Stipulated Price Contract

    • The owner contracts with one entity for design and construction using a single contract.
    • May cause disagreements over the scope of work and construction details.
    • The prime contract is between the owner and the design-builder.
    • The design-builder's consultants are the only recognized consultants under the contract.

    Cost Plus Contract

    • The contractor is compensated for actual costs plus a fixed fee or percentage of costs.
    • Suitable for small, complex projects where total costs are difficult to determine.
