E N D
DESIGN-BUILD CM Perspective • Owner’s Expectation – DB is Master Builder • Stakeholder’s Expectation – DB must satisfy their requirements • DB’s Expectation – Criteria drives design. Design drives construction. • CM’s Expectation – Expectations must be aligned
DESIGN-BUILD CM Perspective • Stakeholders must participate in design and own their decisions. • The DB must capture decisions that vary from criteria; design logs and change orders. • Criteria is a factor in the Owner – DB relationship but not necessarily a factor in the DB- Sub/supplier relationship. • Collaborative problem solving - Keep the project goals in mind
DESIGN-BUILD CM Perspective • DB needs to own relationship with approving agencies • Actively mitigate risks as a team. • Don’t be afraid to keep stakeholders involved. • Be decisive, responsive and pro-active – HAVE COURAGE • Know the contracts • Talk first – minimize letters
DESIGN-BUILD Change Management • Take time to get the criteria right • Avoid design, set performance expectations • Include stakeholders in design – document decisions • Changes to contract during design are still changes • Make informed decisions. • Let DB help find collaborative solutions • Be responsive and decisive – Courage
DESIGN-BUILD Changes • Errors and Omissions in contract documents • Owner Initiated – Revised Scope • Contractor Initiated – VE or variance from contract • Construction Manager Initiated – Goal Focused • Unforeseen Conditions – Same as DBB • Code Interpretation – Source of disputes
DESIGN-BUILD RFIs • Action RFIs (RFC) • Just like DBB • Informational RFIs • Review for conformance with criteria and information • Of equal importance to inspectors • Of equal importance to subcontractors • Need to be included in working drawings • Owner does not own answers unless converted to RFC
DESIGN-BUILD Inspections - State • Work with IOR and Inspectors to align with project goals • DB needs to develop inspection request protocol and train IOR and inspectors • It’s OK and probably preferable to let DB maintain inspection and non-compliance logs. • Plan punchlist process early • Tablets are an affective tool for inspection and punch
