Study Notes
Project Delivery Methods
- Project delivery methods outline the structure of relationships, responsibilities, and communication within a project team. This structure is crucial for successful project execution.
Key Project Delivery Methods
Design-Bid-Build (DBB)
- Definition: The project owner contracts with a designer for the design phase, and separately hires a contractor for construction through competitive bidding.
- Example: A government commissions an architect for a school design. Contractors bid for the project, and the lowest qualified bidder constructs the school.
Design-Build (DB)
- Definition: A single entity (contractor) handles both design and construction. Streamlines communication and speeds up delivery.
- Example: A developer hires one firm to design and construct a shopping mall.
Construction Management at Risk (CMAR)
- Definition: The project owner hires a construction manager who guarantees a maximum price for the project.
- Example: A university hires a CMAR firm to build a library. The firm manages risks and ensures costs don't exceed the guaranteed maximum price.
Integrated Project Delivery (IPD)
- Definition: A collaborative approach where all key parties (owner, designer, contractor) share risks, responsibilities, and rewards to optimize project outcomes.
- Example: A tech company collaborates with architects and contractors from the start of a high-tech office complex to ensure innovative design and timely delivery.
Public-Private Partnerships (PPP)
- Definition: A collaboration between a public entity and private sector firms to finance, design, construct, and operate a project.
- Example: A city partner with a private company to build and operate a toll road, where the company finances construction.
Construction Management (CM)
- Definition: A construction manager acts as a consultant to the project owner, coordinating design and construction.
- Example: A hospital hires a construction manager to coordinate architects, engineers, and contractors.
Key Elements of Project Delivery Methods
- Contractual Links: Defining responsibilities and accountability among stakeholders (e.g., designer, contractor, owner).
- Communication Framework: Ensuring smooth coordination among project stakeholders to reduce miscommunication.
- Responsibility Distribution: Clearly defining the roles of each stakeholder in the project (e.g., contractor, construction manager).
Benefits of Project Delivery Methods
- Efficiency: IPD speeds up complex projects by aligning project goals.
- Cost Control: CMAR ensures project costs remain within a guaranteed maximum price.
- Flexibility: Design-Build allows adjustments during construction to meet project demands.
Choosing the Right Method
- Factors influencing the choice of project delivery method include project complexity, time constraints, budget, and the need for collaboration.
