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.
