Project Delivery Method ANSWER is a contracting strategy
used by an agency or owner for organizing the design,
construction, operations, and maintenance services for a
construction project from conception to occupancy by entering
into legal agreements with one or more entities or parties.
Basic Delivery Forms ANSWER 1. Traditional Approach or
Design-Bid-Build (D-B-B)
2. Multiple-Prime Contracting (Multi-Prime)
3. Construction Management-at-Risk (CM-at-Risk)
4. Design-Build (D-B)
,5. Integrated Project Delivery (IPD)
Traditional Approach or Design-Bid-Build (D-B-B) ANSWER
Most common delivery method. The parties involved in the
traditional delivery system include the owner, the designer, and
one or more contractors with subcontractors. Executes major
phases of project in linear sequence. General contractor
usually selected in low bid process.
CM at Risk ANSWER Acts as owner's agent and provides
professional services early in the project. CM role expands to
general contractor after design phase then CM hires sub
contractors.
Design Build (D-B) ANSWER Grown in popularity. For the
owner, the primary benefit is the simplicity of having one party
responsible for both the development of the design and the
execution of the construction for the project.
Multiple Prime Contracting ANSWER The owner holds
separate contracts with contractors of various disciplines, such
as general construction, structural, mechanical, and electrical.
CM administers contracts and manages budget an schedule.
IPD Contracts(Integrated Project Delivery) ANSWER A
relatively new entry into the U.S. marketplace and very few
projects have been carried out using these contracts. Requires
collaboration and a multiparty agreement among the primary
parties—owner, designer, CM, and builder—so that the risk,
responsibility and liability for project delivery are collectively
managed and appropriately shared.

requirements, i.e. laydown or marshalling area •
Environmental/archeological considerations • Reference to
project procedures manual • Management information system •
Communications protocol • Bid packaging, contracting strategy,
and delivery system evaluation • Site mobilization and
utilization phase • BIM implementation strategy
Pre Design Phase ANSWER the owner must assemble and
organize a project team composed of design and construction
management professionals as well as other key professional,
technical and administrative staff necessary to assure the
success of the project.
Project Procedures Manual ANSWER It clearly define the team
responsibilities, levels of authority, communication protocol,
and the systems, methods, and procedures for project
