The “Who Does What” of Design Teams
Construction industry includes three parties:
Owner, designer and builder
Two contracts among three parties to plan, design, and construct the project
First contract is owner-designer contract, involving planning, design, and aspects of construction
Second contract is owner-contractor contract involving construction
An indirect, third-party relationship exists between the designer and the contractor due to these two contracts
Design – Bid - Build
Design-Bid-Build: project delivery method in which the agency or owner contracts with separate entities for each the design and construction of a project.
Design Bid Build
Design–Build
Design-Build: design and construction aspects are contracted with the D-B
Usually GC, but may be the design professional
Used to minimize project risk for the owner and to reduce delivery schedule by overlapping design and construction phases
When D-B is contractor, design professionals are retained directly by the contractor
Pre- Design Design
Build
10 – 30%
Construction Management
Construction Management: construction consultant providing design/construction advice
Fee-based service responsible exclusively to the owner and acts in the owner's interests
CM offers advice uncolored by any conflicting interest
CM
Design Bid Build
Construction Management At-Risk
Construction Management At-Risk: commitment by CM to deliver the project within a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP)
CM acts as consultant to the owner in the development and design phases but as the equivalent of a GC during the construction phase

$100,000,000 (Construction Cost) ~ 6% = $6,000,000 Design Cost
