Which project delivery method involves a single contract for both design and construction?
Answer: Design-build
Design-build combines design and construction services under one contract, fostering collaboration and reducing conflicts.
What is a primary advantage of the design-bid-build method?
Answer: Clear separation of roles
Design-bid-build provides clear separation between design and construction, which can simplify risk management.
Which delivery method allows early involvement of the contractor during the design phase?
Answer: Construction Manager at Risk
Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) involves the contractor early, which helps with constructability and cost estimates.
What defines Integrated Project Delivery (IPD)?
Answer: Collaborative, shared risk approach
IPD uses a shared risk/reward model with early collaboration among owner, designer, and builder.
In which method does the owner hold separate contracts with designer and contractor?
Answer: Design-bid-build
Design-bid-build keeps contracts separate, maintaining independence between design and construction.
What is one potential drawback of the design-build method?
Answer: Limited owner design input
With design-build, the owner may have reduced control over design since it's handled by the same team managing construction.
