2. Design
3. Pre-Construction
4. Construction
Pre-design const. phase - Answer- - Project conception by owner
- Site identified
- Pre-design planning
- Budgets & financing
Design const. phase - Answer- - Bldg. design drawings & specifications
- Bidding & negotiation
Pre-construction phase - Answer- - Contractor selection
- Review of bids
- Establish project delivery method
Construction phase - Answer- - Bldg. permit
- Pre-const. planning
- Temporary facilities
- Shop drawings, submittals, & mock-ups
- Observation (ongoing inspections)
- Contractor Requests for Info (CFI)
- Const. Change Directive (CCD)
- Safety
- Project closeout
Construction documents (CD) - Answer- Plans (drawings) & specifications (text
document, a.k.a. project manual)
Building Information Modeling (BIM) - Answer- Software program that administers a
process for developing & managing all info of a bldg. project
Construction Change Directive (CCD) - Answer- Document that describes a change to
the original contract doc, specifies change in const. time/cost
Project Delivery Methods - Answer- 1. Design-Bid-Build - traditional 3 step method
where architect & contractor each sign separate contracts w/ owner
2. Design-Build - owner signs single contract w/ one entity to perform design & const.
3. CM - owner hires CM to act as their agent by overseeing design & const.
4. Integrated Proj. Delivery - incorporates all stakeholders throughout the design &
const. (especially used for sustainable bldg.)
, Fast-Track Project - Answer- Const. delivery method where design & const. occur
simultaneously to produce shorter proj. schedules
Punch List - Answer- List of remaining items needing installation/repair near the
completion of a const. project
Zoning Ordinances - Answer- Regulate the degree of bldg. development according to
land use
Purposes:
- Separate incompatible uses
- Provide safe & efficient transportation
- Designate parks & open space
- Promote aesthetic values
- Control development density
- Control bldg. style, allowable materials, exterior appearance
Purposes of building codes - Answer- - Establishes minimum standards to protect life,
health, property, & general welfare
- Defines measures for design, means of const, maintenance requirements
- Legally-binding basis for design of bldgs.
Model codes - Answer- Professionally prepared regulations & codes used to regulate
bldg. const.
- Adopted by local gov.
Americans w/ Disabilities Act - Answer- Federal law prohibiting discrimination on the
basis of disability, including public accommodations & commercial facilities
- New const. must comply
- Modifications shouldn't place burden on bldg. owner
Sustainable building - Answer- Provides building performance while minimizing
disturbance to & improving functioning of ecosystems during const/existence
Purpose of LEED - Answer- To identify & promote strategies in which design & const.
could advance the creation of energy/resource-efficient bldgs.
LEED 5 rating systems - Answer- - BD + C (Bldg. design & const.)
- ID + C (Interior design & const.)
- O + M (Operation & maintenance)
- ND (Neighborhood development)
- HOMES (Homes & units)
LEED credit categories - Answer- Each rating system is made up of combination of
credit categories:
- Integrative process
- Location & transportation
