Hybrid between Design Build and Design Bid Build where Arch acts as PM or advisor to owner.

CMC scope of work and responsibilities
Architect led CmA
1 Fee structure is Gmp, hourly or lump sum 2 Faster completion time3 Big financial rewards4 Risk then Quality
Architect led Design Build
Greatest risk to Architecture firm running design, project management and construction

Break Even Rate Formula is ?
Overhead Rate plus 1

Total cost of operations per dollar spent on direct laborTCO:1$ on DL
***Overhead Rate Plus 1 gives you what?
Break Even Rate
Overhead Rate Equals??
Total Indirect Expenses divided by total direct laborTIE/TDL
Utilization Rate Formula is?
Total Direct Labor divided by Total Labor
GMP Guaranteed Maximum Price
Used when scope clearly defined Cmc prepares cost estimate the he gets paid at end of construction
Unit Prices
Used w unknown site conditions existised for excavation work or projects w repetitive systems (hotels)
Cost plus fee
Used when owner doesn’t know exact scope of his needs and design services early in project so construction can move forward
Stipulated Sum
Used at the end of a competitive bidding process for a public funded project this is fee owners agree to pay

NOR divided by total direct labor
To find % of TDL to NOR
TDL divided by NOR
