DBIA BEST PRACTICES QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS
ANSWER for the system sets up the team, decides on roles, and plans the order
of design, procurement, and building.
Procurement Method—ANSWER: The way team members are chosen (QBS,
best value, low price, sole source).
Approach to Contracting - ANSWER How team members are paid (fp, gmp,
cost reimbursement, goal price, unit price)
Design-Bid-Build (DBB) – FIND OUT MORE Linear process; A/E chosen
based on skills; GC chosen based on low price; design finished without GC
input
There is a risk for the construction manager. Like DBB, but with a negotiated
GMP method, open book estimating, and the chance of fast tracking
Design-Build: YOUR ANSWER Designing and building are done by the same
company, so there is only one point of duty.
Engineer, Buy, and Construct (EPC) — ANSWER Like design-build, which is
popular in the industrial sector, this type of contract includes performance
guarantees.
Multiple Prime Contracting—ANSWER: The owner hires more than one skill
contractor, which is similar to DBB.
IPD, or Integrated Project Delivery, is the answer. Agreement between more
than two parties, equal parties, QBS procurement, target price, and limited use
by the private sector
Private-Public Partnership (P3) - ANSWER Gives private companies the job of
building and maintaining infrastructure
, Shift Left - ANSWER Early scope setting, including key trade subcontractors,
lets choices be made quickly.
Build with traditional design - ANSWER Best value procurement in two
stages; project objectives are set by the owner
Progressive Design Build - WHAT DO I DO? Two stages: preliminary design
and final design. Design and price were worked out after the deal was signed.
Documents with Criteria - ANSWER Describe how a project turned out in the
end.
The goal of bridging documents is to spell out how to complete a job.
Different Technical Idea (ATC) – ANSWER Proposers offer alternatives to
required standards that are better or the same, if accepted by the owner.
Best Practice – ANSWER Technique that gets results more quickly and with
fewer problems
Schematic Design - ANSWER: A way for key team members to get involved in
the design process
Post Award—ANSWER: The amount of time between receiving news of award
and the end of the warranty period
The proposal stage (answer phase) focusses on aligning the team, making a cost
model, and coming up with an idea design.
Phase of Validation – ANSWER Checks the design's foundation and makes a
combined design work plan
The answer is co-location. Closeness that helps with conversation,
understanding, and teamwork
Building Information Modelling (BIM) is the digital, three-dimensional
modelling of building systems whose parts are tied to each other.
