Collaborative Project Delivery Tools
This chapter discusses how the programming, design, construction and management of buildings requires the coordination of numerous stakeholders and organizations. Design‐bid‐build (DBB) uses a competitive, open bid process in which multiple general contractors vie to have the lowest bid on a project based on a set of construction documents. Performance bonds and various statutory requirements are employed to protect taxpayers' money. Integration relies on collaborative teams that ideally have near equitable decision‐making authority. Integrated delivery works to unify design and construction activities, suggesting that the contractor is engaged during design phases. Construction manager at‐risk (CM at‐risk) involves a construction manager who takes on the risk of building a project. The architect is hired under a separate contract with the owner. The construction manager oversees project management and building technology issues, areas in which they typically have particular background and expertise. The chapter explains how design‐build has gained popularity in recent years because of owners' desire for a single contract and single party of responsibility for design and construction.
