Study Notes
Lecture 1: Project Delivery Methods
- The lecture covers various project delivery methods, including their contractual structures, advantages, limitations, and estimating needs.
- Project delivery methods discussed: Design-Bid-Build (DBB), Design-Build (DB), Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR), and Single Source Delivery.
- Procurement criteria can be price/cost-based, quality-based, or a combination of both.
- Compensation types include lump sum, GMP (guaranteed maximum price), and cost-plus.
- Types of estimates include conceptual, preliminary, and detailed.
Learning Objectives
- Students will learn different project delivery methods.
- Students will identify the contractual structures.
- Students will understand advantages and limitations of each method.
- Students will learn how to estimate project needs.
Background
- The lecture discusses DBB, DB, CMAR, and IPD (Integrated Project Delivery) as project delivery methods.
- Procurement criteria vary and could be price/cost based, quality based, or a combination of both.
- The lecture also mentions different compensation types, such as lump sum, GMP, and cost-plus.
Traditional Method (DBB)
- Also known as Design-Bid-Build or hard money.
- Usually involves three sequential phases: Design, Bid/Award, and Construction (Architect-Engineer hired).
- This method follows a traditional sequential flow.
Traditional Organization of Construction
- Detailed organizational structure of the DBB process is shown for clearer understanding.
DBB Contractual Structure
- The lecture provides a diagram illustrating the contractual relationships (Owner, Design/Engineer, General Contractor, and Subcontractors).
Advantages of DBB
- The design professional (DE/A) acts as the owner's agent during construction.
- Design is fully developed before bidding.
- Bidding allows for competitive pricing.
Disadvantages of DBB
- The process is sequential therefore, longer.
- Design process lacks constructability review.
- Conflicts between the design team (DE/A) and GC may arise.
Estimating Needs for DBB
- Accurate detailed estimates are needed for completed documents.
- Conceptual estimates are for design/engineer fee.
- Preliminary estimates are essential to keep bid price within budget.
CMAR at Risk
- Owner is at risk in the CMAR method.
- The diagram illustrates the relationship between Owner, DE/A, CM/GC, and Subcontractors.
Basics of CMAR
- The GC/CM is not solely selected based on price.
- They are brought in before design completion.
- Participation varies from 30% to 99% complete drawings.
- Functions include budget and schedule development, analysis, constructability/value engineering, subcontractor coordination.
Advantages of CMAR
- CM/GC is not selected solely based on price
- Fast-Track Construction with phasing
- Constructability reviews available during design phase
Disadvantages of CMAR
- GMP may not be the best price.
- Construction begins before design is completed.
- Potential for conflict between DE/A and GC during construction phase.
Estimating Needs for CMAR
- Detailed estimates for phased contracts if not done by CM/GC using a GMP
- Conceptual & Preliminary estimates for cost control or GMP
Design-Build (DB)
- Single-source delivery method.
- One entity (CM/A/E or Design-Builder).
- A single contract covering design and construction.
Advantages of DB
- Single point of responsibility, Fast-Track construction.
- Fewer claims/change orders and it’s possible to have the construction finished in shorter time.
Disadvantages of DB
- Owner involvement reduces.
- Fewer checks and balances in the process.
- No competitive bidding.
Estimating Needs of Single Source Delivery
- Conceptual estimate!
- Update your estimate as design develops.
Evolution of Delivery Processes
- The lecture visually presents a timeline of different project delivery methods (DBB, DB, CMAR).
Case Study
- Clemson University is considering a technology lab project.
- They need to hire a contractor and architect for their new technology lab
- The project requires a delivery method that meets time and budget constraints, ensures quality, and minimizes risk.
Learning Objectives (Review)
- Review different project delivery methods. Identify advantages, limitations and estimation needs.
