    Study Notes

    Project delivery methods

    • The construction industry has evolved to include multiple project delivery options.
    • Project delivery methods have adapted to increased owner requirements, risk transfer, shorter timeframes, and demands for higher performance.
    • The traditional term "construction project delivery" is being replaced with "design-construction project delivery" due to the increasing integration of design and construction activities.
    • Building Information Modeling (BIM) and integrated project delivery (IPD) have led to significant innovation in project delivery methods.
    • Design activities undertaken by a team as part of the design-construction process are the protected scope of work of architects.

    Design-Bid-Build

    • This is a traditional project delivery where the owner engages an architect to design the project, followed by procuring a contractor through competitive bidding under a stipulated price construction contract.
    • The architect administers the construction contract, reviews construction works, certifies payments, and has responsibilities at project completion and during the warranty period.
    • CCDC 2 is commonly used for stipulated price construction contracts.

    Construction Management

    • A construction manager assists in planning, provides cost estimates, manages the project schedule, and coordinates trades.
    • Construction management can offer improved constructability, reduced rework, and enhanced transparency, leading to higher efficiency and effectiveness.

    Integrated Project Delivery (IPD)

    • IPD utilizes a collaborative approach where teams work together from the beginning, sharing risks and rewards.
    • The goal is to achieve higher-quality outcomes and reduce adversarial relationships.
    • Requires strong communication and a shift from a competitive to a collaborative culture.
    • CCDC 30 is the Canadian standard form of agreement for integrated project delivery.

    Project Management

    • A project manager oversees the entire project, engaging all disciplines, including architects, engineers, and contractors.
    • The project manager may employ a traditional design-bid-build approach or utilize sequential tendering to achieve earlier completion.
    • Project management can offer risk transfer from the owner to the project management firm and provide constructability input during design.

    Just-in-Time

    • This method breaks down large projects into smaller work packages that are planned, demolished, and constructed on an hourly basis, emphasizing schedule optimization.

    Turnkey Development

    • This method encompasses various real estate functions, including site acquisition, entitlements, construction, financing, and long-term management.
    • It can be carried out under design-build or developer proposal methods.
