Q

Describe the cost + fee method for a CMA project delivery

A

Owner pays actual cost of construction plus a fee that is agreed upon before construction begins

It contractor includes a GMP and the project is completed for less, the owner receives the savings

26
Q

When is fast-tracking used?

A

Most commonly when there is a cm on board, but it can be used with any project delivery method

27
Q

Describe fast-tracking

A

Construction can begin before design is done - documents are issued in stages thru bid packages

28
Q

What is the advantage to fast-tracking?

A

Reduces time and cost

29
Q

What is the disadvantage to fast-tracking?

A

Requires many prime contracts and a lot of coordination

30
Q

Describe the construction manager as constructor project delivery method

A

Contracting firm has single contract with owner to provide services covering cm and construction

Cm work is divided into 2 phases (preconstnction and construction) which can proceed concurrently to fast-track

31
Q

How are projects prized in a CMC project delivery method?

A

Cost + fee W/ or w/o a GMP

32
Q

Why is prizing W/ a GMP risky in a CMC project delivery method?

A

Because GMP is based on partially completed documents usually after dd phase

33
Q

In a CMC project delivery method, when can the architect perform CA work?

A

Once one ot 3 things happen:

  1. Owner accepts CMC’s GMP
  2. Owner approves cmc’s control estimate
  3. Owner issues notice to proceed to cm
34
Q

What is a control estimate in a CMC project delivery method?

A

Sum of cm’s cost of work plus the cm’s fee

-establishes substantial date of completion

35
Q

In a design-build project delivery method, how does the contracting work?

A

Owner contracts W/ one entity to provide design and construction services. That entity then subcontracts services as needed.

36
Q

What is the most common scenario for organization in the design build project delivery method?

A

Led by contractor + independent architect + consultants - In this scenario the architect and consultants have a contract with the contractor, not the owner

37
Q

What is the owner’s role in the design-build project delivery method?

A

To provide a clear set of criteria for the project requirements so that the design-builder can develop the preliminary design and contract sum

Owner also assumes CA duties and must certify a substantial date of completion

38
Q

What are 3 advantages of using the design -build project delivery method?

A
  1. Single source of responsibility W/ one contract
  2. Owner receives fixed price early in the project
  3. Cost + time usually less than other project delivery methods
39
Q

What are 2 disadvantages to using the design-build project delivery method?

A
  1. Owner has less control over design
  2. Design-build entity has control over methods of Const. And quality of materials and can substitute for cheaper materials to stay W/ in budget
40
Q

What AIA doc does the owner use to establish the substantial date of completion in the design build project delivers method?

A

AIA doc G744

41
Q

What are 3 ways cost can be determined for the design-build project delivery method?

A
  1. Stipulated sum
  2. Cost + fee
  3. Cost + fee with GMP
42
Q

What AIA doc outlines the architect’s responsibilities in the design-build project delivery method?

A

AIA doc B143

43
Q

What is the benefit of bridging?

A
  1. Combines advantages of DBB and DB Methods
  2. Someone represents the owner throughout the entire process
  3. Competitive bidding and a fixed cost, single-source responsible for construction
44
Q

Describe the bridging workflow process

A
  1. Owner hires an arch, or engineer (ae)
  2. AE helps owner develop project scope and preliminary drawings and specs
  3. Design-Build firms bid on project
  4. Design-Build firm takes over ae role
45
Q

When would an architect use design-assist contracting?

A

If the project is large and /or has complex issues

46
Q

What is integrated project delivery?

A

All participants collaborate from conception to move-in

Owner can have multiple agreements

47
Q

  6. Construction (CA)
  7. Closeout
48
Q

What is the advantage of the IDP project delivery method?

Lower project cost, quality construction

49
Q

What are the 3 ways to establish contractual relationships in the IDP project delivery method?

For large complex projects

54
Q

What AIA doc outlines the requirements for an SPE?

A

AIA doc c195

55
Q

What types of firms use departmental organization

A

Specialty firms and some design firms

56
Q

What types of firms use studio organization?

Evidence based design- it establishes design decisions on credible research that links one or more environmental elements W/ desired outcome

Ex: daylighting improves student performance in schools

58
Q

What is the most important role of the architect during pre-design?

A

Assembling and coordinating a team of professional consultants to work on the project

59
Q

What are 2 ways consultants can be contracted on a project?
