    Study Notes

    Construction Contracts

    • Design-build contracts implicitly require that information provided in the construction documents be fully coordinated across all disciplines and trades.

    Purpose of Complete Construction Documents

    • The main purpose of having complete and accurate construction documents in stipulated price or lump-sum construction contracts is to ensure that the contractor has a clear understanding of the scope of work and can accurately price the project.

    Fast-Tracking in Design and Construction

    • Fast-tracking in design and construction refers to the concept of overlapping design and construction activities to reduce the overall project duration, allowing for the start of construction before the completion of the design.

    Impact of Additional Information on Contract Price and Time

    • Additional information provided to contractors during execution of the construction work in stipulated price or lump-sum construction contracts typically requires a change order, which can impact the initial contract price or contract time.

    Logical Sequence of Work in Construction Schedule

    • The logical sequence of work in the construction schedule typically follows a specific order, such as earthwork, foundation, structural, and finishing work.

    Importance of Building Footings

    • Building footings are often the first structural element to be constructed because they provide the foundation for the entire structure and must be in place before proceeding with other construction activities.

    Construction Management and Preparatory Work

    • Construction management can facilitate the execution of preparatory work, such as site preparation and excavation, before completing design work, allowing for the early start of construction activities.

    Type of Contracts

    • Lump-sum contracts are predicated on a contract price and contract time being agreed to by the contractor for a clear scope of work and performance requirements.

    Construction Management Project Delivery Method

    • In the construction management project delivery method, the construction work is generally divided into multiple packages or trades, allowing for the simultaneous execution of multiple activities.

    Role of Construction Manager in Pre-Construction Stages

    • The role of the construction manager in the pre-construction stages of a construction management project includes planning, coordination, and management of the design and pre-construction activities.

    Impact of Planning and Scheduling on Design Development

    • The planning and scheduling of the design work have a significant impact on the development of designs for construction contracts, as it influences the project timeline and coordination of activities.
