What are the advantages and disadvantages of Project Labor Agreements (PLAs)? What
is causing their increased use?
Your Answer:
Project Labor Agreements can help owners secure a skilled labor force, reduce the risk of strikes or
labor interruptions, improve coordination among trades, and support timely completion on large
projects. Their disadvantages are that they may reduce open competition, discourage some
nonunion contractors from bidding, and possibly increase labor costs or administrative
requirements. Their increased use is mainly caused by owners’ desire for labor stability, predictable
project delivery, skilled workers, and fewer disruptions on large public construction projects.
Proponents argue PLAs support quality labor and timely completion, while opponents argue they
can be anti-competitive and increase costs.

Question 8
3/3pts
Describe the essential differences between design-bid-build, design-build, job order
contracting, construction management at risk, and best value procurement. What are the
major advantages and disadvantages of each?
Your Answer:
Design-bid-build is the traditional method where the owner hires the designer first, then bids the
completed design to contractors. Its advantage is clear separation of design and construction and
competitive pricing, but it can take longer and may create disputes between the designer and
contractor. Design-build uses one contract for both design and construction. Its advantages are
faster delivery, better coordination, and single-point responsibility, but the owner may have less
direct control over design details. Job order contracting is used for repeated small projects under a
pre-priced contract; it is fast and efficient for maintenance or repair work, but it is not ideal for large
unique projects. Construction management at risk brings the construction manager in early and
usually includes a guaranteed maximum price; it improves collaboration and cost control, but the
owner must carefully manage scope and price assumptions. Best value procurement selects a
contractor based on price plus qualifications, schedule, experience, and technical approach; it can
produce better overall value, but it is more complex than low-bid selection and requires fair
evaluation criteria.
Design-build uses one contractor not contract
Question 9
3/ 3pts
Why do owners prefer the design-build form of contracts?
Your Answer:
Owners prefer design-build because it gives them one responsible team for both design and
construction. This reduces finger-pointing, improves communication, allows design and
construction to overlap, shortens the schedule, and can provide better cost control earlier in the
project.
Question 10
3/ 3pts
What are the major types of construction contractors?
Your Answer:
The major types are residential, commercial building, heavy civil/highway, and industrial
contractors. Another way to describe them is general contractors, construction managers, and
subcontractors or specialty trade contractors.
