What is a design-build project delivery method? - Answer✔The project owner hires one
company that will handle the building, designing, and the hiring of the trade subcontractors.
Often used in large projects where expedited project completion is highly important e.g. dam
repair, bridge repair, etc
What is a design-bid-build project delivery method? - Answer✔The project owner hires the
designer company and the builder company separately. And the builder company hires the
trade subcontractors. This is the simplest and most common method
What is a construction manager agency (CMA) project delivery method? - Answer✔The project
owner hires the designer company and the builder company separately, like D-B-B. However,
the builder company also advises the owner how the owner should handle contract with the
designer company.
