Before the creative design can begin on the project, the owner must determine the design
objectives. The following is a summary of common design objectives.

Answer 9

Historic Preservation-
Preserving historic buildings to understand the heritage of
our nation, state, city, and culture. It is also a principle of
sustainable design.

Aesthetics-The desired design imagery and the statement the owner
wants to make with the project.

Cost-effectiveness-Defined by the owner’s goal (i.e., low first cost, low O&M,
long life span, productive users, high ROI) and supported by
a life cycle study.

Functional/Operational-
Building must operate in an efficient and effective manner
with an ability to adapt to functional or organizational
changes of the building occupants.

Productive-How the occupants react emotionally to the facility and how
effectively the occupant performs in their work or living
environment.

Safe/Secure-Understanding the risks, threats, and hazards to
which a facility will be subject and the anticipated
consequences of each.

Sustainable- Deciding if the project is to be sustainable, and if so, if it is to
achieve a particular sustainability rating.

Resilience- How a facility can absorb and rapidly recover from a
disruptive event (natural or man-made).

Accessible- Accessibility is a civil rights issue, and it is crucial that
facilities are accessible to everyone.

Question 18

There are a variety of options for implementing the D-B delivery method. Each option could have
an impact on cost, time, and design flexibility.

Write the name of the option next to the corresponding description.

The owner contracts directly with a design-builder, who is
then responsible for developing the design, providing the
contract documents, and constructing the project.

Answer 18

Designer-builder provides all services option

Question 19

There are a variety of options for implementing the D-B delivery method. Each option could have
an impact on cost, time, and design flexibility.

Write the name of the option next to the corresponding description.

Used when the owner wishes to have greater control over
the design of the project. The owner engages a design
architect/engineer not associated with the design-builder.
The design architect/engineer is not the “architect/
engineer of record” and cannot be retained by the designbuilder. The owner’s design architect/engineer creates the
project design and prepares design documents that are
known as bridging documents. The design-builder then
prices the design represented by the bridging documents
to establish the cost of the project. The design-builder
and owner execute an agreement for the completion of
the design, the preparation of the construction documents
and proceeds with the construction of the project.

Answer 19

Owners architect/engineer and bridging documents options

Question 20

There are a variety of options for implementing the D-B delivery method. Each option could have
an impact on cost, time, and design flexibility.

Write the name of the option next to the corresponding description.

A modified selection process may be used that combines
negotiations and competitive bidding. The owner first
prepares the owner’s project requirements and then
requests proposals in two phases:
* Phase I: A proposed project design and cost are
submitted to the owner by each prospective designbuilder. The proposals are evaluated and either one
design is selected, or several designs are selected if
the process is competitive.
* Phase II: Prospective design-builders submit more
developed versions of the design and cost selected
in Phase I. The proposals are evaluated, and the
owner makes a final selection and then negotiates
the contract.

Answer 20

Competitive proposal option

Question 21
