  • Study Notes

    • Design-build is a construction project approach where one team is responsible for both design and construction.
    • There are two types of design-build contracts: traditional and progressive.
    • In traditional design-build contracts, the architect's payment is spread evenly throughout the project.
    • In progressive design-build contracts, payments can occur more often during the construction phase.
    • The AIA has created a suite of documents specifically for design-build contracts, including the A141 document that defines the relationship between the owner and design-builder.
    • Clear and detailed contracts are essential in the design-build process to define and allocate risks and liabilities clearly.
    • The design-build selection process is typically based on qualifications instead of cost.
    • Designing an airport project requires extra attention due to multiple stakeholders involved.
    • The AIA's goal is to keep the essence of design in the design-build process, with a single source of responsibility for design and construction.
    • The AIA suggests the design process should begin with the owner's criteria, allowing for back-and-forth communication between the design team and owner to refine the plans before determining a final contract sum and GMP.
