CONCEPTS (CHAPTERS 1-8) WITH
COMPLETE SOLUTIONS
What is the primary contribution an owner makes to a construction project? - ANSWER-
Financial resources, the ability to obtain funding. (1)
What makes an effective project team? - ANSWER-People with complementary skill
sets, ample experience, passion and enthusiasm for the task, strong work ethic, and the
ability to assess and evaluate a process. (1)
Types of Development and Renovation - ANSWER-- Speculative Development
- Build to Suit Development
- Energy Performance Contracting
- ADA Alterations (1)
Speculative Development - ANSWER-Built without a commitment from a user, but with
the belief that a demand exists for the space and the space will be rented within a
reasonable time after the building is completed. (1)
Build to Suit Development - ANSWER-Design and construction of a building to meet the
specific needs of a user who is committed to the project. Can be owner occupied or a
long- term lease. (1)
Types of Renovation - ANSWER-- Rehabilitation
- Modernization
- Remodeling (1)
Rehabilitation - ANSWER-Restoration of a property to satisfactory condition without
changing the plan, form, or style of a structure. Corrects areas of deferred maintenance.
(1)
Modernization - ANSWER-Involves bringing a property into conformity with changes in
style. Requires replacing parts of the structure or mechanical equipment with modern
materials of the same kind without making major additions. Improvements to satisfy
codes, standards or market demand. (1)
Remodeling - ANSWER-Changing the plan, form, or style of a structure to correct
functional or economic deficiencies. Can reestablish usefulness. Not to be confused
with alterations. (1)
,4 Primary Project Delivery Methods - ANSWER-- Design Bid Build
- Design Build
- CMAR
- Multiple Prime Contracts (2)
Design- Bid- Build Method - ANSWER-An architectural firm is hired and serves as
owner's agent. Primary responsibility is providing and managing the design and
construction documents. Achieves the owner's goals with reasonable speed and cost.
(2)
Benefit of Design- Bid- Build Method - ANSWER-Achieves the owner's goals with
reasonable speed and costs. (2)
Limitations of Design- Bid- Build Method - ANSWER-Project management organizations
can complete the project more quickly with lower costs. (2)
Success Factors for Design- Bid Build Method - ANSWER-- Seamless project team
communication
- Ability to prequalify a team
- Excellent contractor and subcontractor experience with the type of facility being built
- Ability to restrain the contractor pool (2)
Design- Build Method - ANSWER-One entity enters into a single contract with an owner
to provide architectural and engineering design and construction services. Guaranteed
maximum price for the entire project is provided. Combines the design and construction.
(2)
Benefit of Design- Build Method - ANSWER-Combines the design and construction
phases; encourages collaboration. (2)
Limitations of Design- Build Method - ANSWER-Saving money for the owner is not a
priority for the contractor. (2)
Energy Performance Contracting - ANSWER-Adjust and refine existing buildings to
reduce operating expenses and energy costs for the owner. Can be speculative or
performance development. (1)
ADA Alterations - ANSWER-Based on ADA Act of 1990. Includes changes or
rearrangement in structural parts or elements and changes or rearrangement in the plan
configurations of walls and full height partitions. (1)
What is used to determine space requirements? - ANSWER-A needs assessment and
program of requirements. (1)
Needs Assessment - ANSWER-Analysis of space requirements of a specific user. Can
inform the creation of the program of requirements. (1)
, Program of Requirements - ANSWER-Is divided into two sections: the architectural
program and the functional program. Helps create final design documents. (1)
Architectural Program - ANSWER-Created during the design phase to accommodate
the functional program. Establishes the size and general character of the proposed
building. Used to evaluate project documents. (1)
Functional Program - ANSWER-Involves creating written documents that identify
tangible needs a building must meet. Square footage requested in the statement of
need is compared to the space available in existing or proposed buildings through a test
fit. (1)
What are the two types of building design codes? - ANSWER-Building Codes and
Zoning Codes (1)
Zoning Codes - ANSWER-Control the use, height, and mass of a building. Seeks to
protect the health, safety, and welfare of the public. Address 3 primary areas: district
zoning for permitted uses, area height and bulk regulations, special regulations. (1)
Building Codes - ANSWER-Promote general safety by regulating the design and
construction of the building's components. Each municipality adopts a model building
code and adds amendments to accommodate local conditions. (1)
What components are commonly included in construction contract documents? -
ANSWER-Working drawings, conditions of the contract, specifications (1)
Focus Areas of Physical Feasibility - ANSWER-Involves site analysis and selection. (1)
Focus Areas of Economic Feasibility - ANSWER-Involves market and real estate
analysis. (1)
What level of stakeholder participation is needed in the green approach to program
development? - ANSWER-All stakeholders participate in the development process.
Teamwork and group participation are key. They can add fuel to the process and
facilitate a smooth, efficient approval process. (1)
CMAR Method - ANSWER-AKA construction management at risk, an owner contracts
separately with a designer and a contractor. A construction manager is hired by the
owner to promote a team effort and manage the two activities. (2)
Differences between CMAR and Design- Bid- Build - ANSWER-- A construction
manager is hired to manage the construction process including selecting subcontractors
- Design and construction phases can be overlapped, expediting the delivery process
- Construction manager
