Project Phases Design Phase Bidding Phase Construction Phase Close Out When are they involved? ARCHITECT ROLE CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT ROLE DESIGN-BUILD ROLE CLERK OF THE WORKS ROLE GENERAL/PRIME CONTRACTOR ROLE
Clerk of the Works • Advantage • Independent Quality assurance • “Reports” on project • Low cost • Disadvantage • Single resource, no back-up • Limited expertise • No involvement during design
Construction Management – Multi-Primes • Advantages • Preconstruction Services • Team Approach • A/E Design • CM Cost and Schedule • Independent • Cost Estimating & Value Engineering • Schedule/Phasing Analysis • Constructibility Reviews • Improved CD’s • Savings offset fees
Construction Management – Multi-Primes • Advantages • Primes work direct for District • Independent Advocate • Depth of Resources • Estimating Department • Multi-disciplined Staff • Professional Expertise • RA, PE, PMP
Construction Management – Multi-Primes • Disadvantages • Multi-prime scope coordination • Increased number of contracts • Increased CM staffing and Fee
Construction Management – 4 Primes • Advantages • Preconstruction Services • Team Approach • A/E Design • CM Cost and Schedule • Independent • Cost Estimating & Value Engineering • Schedule/Phasing Analysis • Constructibility Reviews • Improved CD’s • Savings offset fees
Construction Management – 4 Primes • Advantages • Primes work direct for District • Independent Advocate • Depth of Resources • Estimating Department • Multi-disciplined Staff • Professional Expertise • RA, PE, PMP • Reduced coordination
Construction Management – 4 Primes • Disadvantages • Greater Reliance on GC • Minimal CM staffing • One bad contractor significantly affects all
Architect/Engineer – Contract Administration • Advantages • Continuous knowledge of project • Single source • Disadvantages • No independent analysis of issues
Single Prime – General Construction • Advantages • One Source of contact • Centralized communication • Disadvantages • One Source of contact • All trades by GC • Not yet allowed by PDE
Design-Build • Advantages • One Source of contact for Design and Construction • Centralized communication • Fast • Disadvantages • One Source of contact • Design and All trades by GC • Definition of Scope Critical at RFP Stage • Not yet allowed by PDE
It’s all about RISK • Who do you trust to: • Cost effectively deliver the project • On time • On budget • Meet quality expectations • Protect you
