Describe the cost + fee method for a CMA project delivery
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
When is fast-tracking used?
Most commonly when there is a cm on board, but it can be used with any project delivery method
27
Describe fast-tracking
Construction can begin before design is done - documents are issued in stages thru bid packages
28
What is the advantage to fast-tracking?
Reduces time and cost
29
What is the disadvantage to fast-tracking?
Requires many prime contracts and a lot of coordination
30
Describe the construction manager as constructor project delivery method
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
How are projects prized in a CMC project delivery method?
Cost + fee W/ or w/o a GMP
32
Why is prizing W/ a GMP risky in a CMC project delivery method?
Because GMP is based on partially completed documents usually after dd phase
33
In a CMC project delivery method, when can the architect perform CA work?
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
What is a control estimate in a CMC project delivery method?
Sum of cm’s cost of work plus the cm's fee | -establishes substantial date of completion
35
In a design-build project delivery method, how does the contracting work?
Owner contracts W/ one entity to provide design and construction services. That entity then subcontracts services as needed.
36
What is the most common scenario for organization in the design build project delivery method?
Led by contractor + independent architect + consultants - In this scenario the architect and consultants have a contract with the contractor, not the owner
37
What is the owner's role in the design-build project delivery method?
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
What are 3 advantages of using the design -build project delivery method?
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
What are 2 disadvantages to using the design-build project delivery method?
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
What AIA doc does the owner use to establish the substantial date of completion in the design build project delivers method?
AIA doc G744
41
What are 3 ways cost can be determined for the design-build project delivery method?
1. Stipulated sum 2. Cost + fee 3. Cost + fee with GMP
42
What AIA doc outlines the architect's responsibilities in the design-build project delivery method?
AIA doc B143
43
What is the benefit of bridging?
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
Describe the bridging workflow process
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
When would an architect use design-assist contracting?
If the project is large and /or has complex issues
46
What is integrated project delivery?
All participants collaborate from conception to move-in Owner can have multiple agreements
47
List the 7 phases of IDP
1. Conceptualization(Pre-Design) 2. Criteria design (SD) 3. Detail design (DD) 4. Implementation docs (CD) 5. Agency review (bidding from those not on integrated team) 6. Construction (CA) 7. Closeout
48
What is the advantage of the IDP project delivery method?
Lower project cost, quality construction
49
What are the 3 ways to establish contractual relationships in the IDP project delivery method?
1. Transitional forms 2. Multi-party agreement 3. Single purpose entity (spe)
50
What is a multit-party agreement?

AIA doc c195
55

What types of firms use studio organization?

57
What is EBD?
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

Assembling and coordinating a team of professional consultants to work on the project
59
What are 2 ways consultants can be contracted on a project?
