EXAC 2024 - Types of ConstructionProject Delivery (CHOP 2.3.2)
Project delivery methods in the construction industry have evolved in response to: -
answer-increased owner requirements;
-more urgent time frames;
-increased demands for quality and safety;
-the need to reduce adversarial relationships in construction;
-economic pressures.
Project delivery - answeris a general term describing the comprehensive process used
to successfully complete the design and construction of buildings and other facilities.
The term is used to include all the procedures, actions, sequences of events,
obligations, interrelations, contractual relations, and various forms of agreement
Stipulated Price Contract (Design-Bid-Build) - answerthe owner engages an architect to
prepare the design, drawings, and specifications;the owner hires a contractor by
competitive bidding to build the facility under a construction contract (usually CCDC 2,
Stipulated Price Contract);the architect administers the contract, and reviews and
certifies the construction.
This design-bid-build form of project delivery is characterized by: - answerits three
distinct phases;
-its two independent contracts between the architect and the client/owner;
-the contractor and the client/owner,
-the linear sequencing of the process.
Advantages of design-bid-build - answer-widespread use and familiarity;
-clear roles assigned to each party;
-generally a transparent process
thorough resolution of the program requirements and design prior to construction;
-Direct professional relationship between the client / building users and the architect;
-has a known price before construction begins.
Disadvantages of design-bid-build - answer-Separation of design and construction
restricts useful communication;
-Clients sometimes perceive "extras" to be more prevalent and costly in this form of
project delivery than others
-The contractor is unknown when the construction documents are prepared.
, -Contracts, particularly for public sector projects, are awarded to the low bidder who
may not be well-qualified to do the work. Prequalification of contractors on public sector
bids is not common
Construction Management project delivery system - answerConstruction management
is a broad term covering a variety of project delivery scenarios in which a construction
manager (CM) is added to the building team at an early stage to oversee such elements
as schedule, cost, construction method, or building technology
A construction manager may be: - answer-an architect;
-a contractor;
-an engineer or developer;
-an individual or team with specialized training in construction management.
Depending upon how the project is organized, a CM can: - answer-act as an advisor
during a particular phase of the design, documentation or construction process;
-manage the construction of the project, with the owner contracting directly with each
trade contractor. In this case, the CM may, or may not, be permitted to assume
responsibility for construction activities typically outlined in General Conditions of the
specifications (for example, temporary facilities, site layout, clean-up).
Typical responsibilities of a CM include: - answer-Assisting in preliminary planning
relative to the design requirements for the project;
-Advising on schedules, budgets, and costs of various alternative methods, on material
selection and availability, and on details during the design phase;
-Advising on and arranging for all services and all trade contractors and suppliers to
carry out the various phases of the work;
-Planning, scheduling, coordinating, and supervising the activities of all trade
contractors;
-Providing technical and clerical services in the administration of the project.
Advantages construction management project delivery - answer-Direct contractual
relationship with the owner;
-Construction advice during the design process;
-The opportunity to call bids sequentially, thus saving time by permitting a start on
construction before all documentation has been completed ("fast track");
-Careful monitoring of costs and schedule
Disadvantages construction management project delivery - answer-Construction usually
commences before the total costs are known;
-Added costs and time in selection of an additional consultant;
-More complex relationships therefore traditional roles may be confused,
-The professional relationship between architect and owner and architect and contractor
now includes a third party, sometimes complicating direct communication;
-Less control over final cost
-Maybe conflict of interests
