What is a ‘Federated Model’ in relation to BIM
Combined consultants model. An architectural, structural and services model.
Where can you find open source BIM information does NATSPEC provide?

What is the name of the agreement where the architect is the primary consultant and pays the specialist consultant
directly
Architect-Specialist Consultant Agreement
2017 (ASCA 2017)
Procurement is… (define)
…the act or process of bringing about or bringing into existence buildings.
It may also refer to theacquiring of buildings already existing but most commonly it refers to the total process of bringing into being a building that was not there before and embraces all the activities that might be necessary to the objective.
With alternative client, architect, contractor relationships, what must be clearly defined?
the organisational structure of the delivery method, clearly defined responsibilities and a full understanding of the lines of communication
who has developed Guidelines for EOI and RFT for architectural services to enable an effective and efficient process?
The Institute (AIA)…. Australian-Institute-of-Architects_EOI-RFT-Guidelines-2019
Deveoped from analysis of
industry and government policy documents, interviews with government and institutional clients, and an online
survey of Institute members.
Define the alternative procurement method: Negotiated price contract
or known as Fixed Price Lump Sum (FPLS).
“The traditional relationship between the client and the architect is maintained, contract documentation is
substantially or fully completed and a tender is negotiated with one or more selected contactors. A traditional contract is signed when a satisfactory price is achieved and the architect administers the contract.”
Define the alternative procurement method: Cost-plus contract
The cost is billed after construction rather than discussed beforehand.
Often used for latent conditions projects or when its difficult to determine the scope. Law only allows cost plus on projects over $1 million.
“The traditional relationship between the client and the architect is maintained, contract documentation is
substantially or fully completed and a management fee covering overheads and profit is negotiated with one or more selected contractors. The successful contractor builds the project using in-house and sub-contracted labour. A modified contract is signed and the architect administers the contract. It is usual for the sub contract tendering to be administered by the contractor but vetted and approved by the client and/or the architect.”
Define the alternative procurement method: Two-stage tender
A version of Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) procurement.
“The traditional relationship between the client and the architect is maintained. The first-stage tender is sought using sketch plans and an outline specification and the selection of the contractor is based on the overhead and profit rate, resources, and site and management facilities offered. Documentation is developed with the contractor and principal subcontractors as part of the design team. The price is built up progressively from elemental subcontract prices prepared by the subcontractors. The design will be tailored throughout the process to meet the client’s budget and other requirements. The design input from the contractor can be valuable, allowing a thorough analysis of buildability and providing a realistic basis for assessing the cost benefit of various aspects of the design.”
Define the alternative procurement method: Construction management
Construction Manager replaces the head contractor and all the subcontractors are tied to the client instead of to the sub-contractor.
“A construction manager has expertise in both building and management and is contracted to the client to provide management services only. The provision of materials and labour is through a series of separate contracts between individual suppliers and contractors and the client. The construction management organisation acts as the owner’s agent to administer the separate contracts, plan and supervise construction, and manage the construction services provided by the design consultants, including the architect.
The role of the architect and the relationship with the owner and the construction manager may be much the same as in traditional contracts between architect, client and contractor. It is more common, however, for the construction manager to take over some of the architect’s traditional roles, such as certification, during construction. It is common that the Architect be novated to the construction manager.”
Define the alternative procurement method: Design and construct
‘The procurement method of Design and Construct is where the client enters into a single contract with a construction company that provides both the design and construction of a project based on requirements specified by the client’ (Office of the Victorian Government Architect, 2013).
In design-and-construct arrangements, the client enters into one contract for the design and construction of a
building or project with an organisation, generally based on a building company which provides both design and
building services. A ‘guaranteed price’ is negotiated between the contractor and the client, based on the client’s brief or requirements, previous projects of a similar nature, a risk assessment by both parties and a building margin (usually generous). The contractor’s project priorities, minimum cost, minimum time and maximum profit are often in conflict with the client’s priorities.
What is Project Alliancing?
Evolved from partnering, and is sometimes called strategic partnering. The main difference between ‘alliancing’ and ‘partnering’ is the introduction of risk and reward, based on the performance of the alliance team, usually comprising the major consultants, contractors and owner.
Very few projects - only used for the national Museum of Australia in Canberra and the Hamer Hall redevelopment in Melbourne. The Institute neither endorses or rejects this contracting method and awaits further evidence of its suitability, through use.
Essentially, alliancing is a project-delivery approach requiring a high level of mutual respect and trust between members of the team. The team must be able to develop a culture of high performance and an environment in which individuals can contribute to a project in the expectation of creating extraordinary results. Alliancing incorporates a legal agreement between all major participants, including the client, which sets out joint risk/reward arrangements.

what is a project alliance?
legal agreement between all major participants, including the client, which sets out joint risk/reward arrangements.
The project team becomes an Integrated Project Team (IPT) with all parties benefit in achieving exceptional performance from a best-for-project approach. A project alliance leadership team (PALT) will be formed to provide guidance and support to the IPT.
What is the purpose of a Project Alliance Leadership Team (PALT)?
This leadership team will have primary responsibility for the creation and direction of a high-performance alliance culture, capable of delivering exceptional project results. All members of the alliance will be represented on PALT.
