according to NCIDQ- who does pre design and research in the design office

medium offices- principle of the firm and project manager may jointly do it
when you research a certain type of design, what does it say when you do it before you bid on a project vs after
before says you’re knowledgeable after shows that you can solve the client’s problems
how would you go about researching a type of project like retail or office design etc
trade journals
why must a designer carefully think through all the jobs required to realize the project based on a particular job or client
because the requirements of the project might be different. For example you might need to do mock ups for a project that will be duplicated over and over
the customary scope is listed in
standard contract documents
who is a stakeholder in a project
includes all of those who control the project, work on it, or have an interest in its outcome-
like owners, users of the facility, design team, consultancts
what factors help you pick the design team for a project
base on the size and scope of the job
the number and complexity of required tasks
the schedule
availability of ppl in the office
experience
other project obligations
who picks the consultants
usually the client will contract with them directly based on the designer’s recommendations. Or the client might say you need to work with these consultants
One wat to keep record for jobs al all types is
maintain a project notebook containing the most important information needed for day to day management
What are the three construction delivery methods
design bid build
construction manager
design build
what is a design-bid build
construction method- traditional approach where the designer designs and makes construction docuements, then those are sent out for bid- lowest bid selected
generally produces the lowest cost
process takes longer because the drawings must be done in advance
what is a construction manager
used more on architectural projects
third party who is an expert in construction, costing and management.
this guy is hired by the owner and the designer can consult with him while designing about costs etc. can help select the contractor
this is used when fast tract construction is needed before the design drawings are complete
what is a design build construction delivery method
places reponsibility for the design and construction with one entity- a designer has their own construction company or vice versa
offers the owner a fixed price because it’s all in one
