Your agency needs to construct a new high school. What's the difference
between using the design-bid-build method versus design-build? Extra
credit for explaining CM (construction manager) at risk. - ACCURATE
ANSWERS✔✔ Design-bid-build method = The entity who needs a
building constructed, or the project owner, hires a designer to draw up
the schematics and plans for the building. The designer can then hire
consultants as needed, who report directly to the designer. Once the
building is drawn up, the designer is pretty much done with the project
outside of consultation and tweaks as needed. With plans in hand, the
project owner gets bids from various construction firms to construct the
building. The project owner picks the bid they like best and hires the
contractor. As with the designer, the contractor can hire subcontractors
as needed who would report directly to them, not the project owner.
Then, the building is constructed based on the schematics and
documents that the designer made.
Design-build method = There is only one contract. The person in need of
a building, also known as a project owner, hires one person or company
to both design and construct the building. This person, known as the
design-builder, can hire design consultants and subcontractors as they
see fit, but those employees would answer directly to the design-builder,
not the project owner.
