Are you aware of the trends in the development industry resulting in new contract mechanisms? Projects are shifting from independent design professionals to a comprehensive team approach for the designer and the contractor. Hear about the benefits and constraints of using the design-build delivery methodology, which has grown from 30% in 2005 to 44% in 2021. The CMAR (Contract Manager at Risk) delivery methodology has grown from 32% to 35% during the same period. Today 79% of construction projects use some form of contractor overview during the design process. Working closely with the contractor is here to stay. After this session, participants will be able to:
• Identify the business opportunities and constraints associated with the design-build delivery methodology versus the design-bid-build process traditionally used on public projects.
• Describe how the design process works within the constraints of the design-build methodology and the contractor’s perspective on design.
• Discuss how to guide the design process through the triple bottom line—the social impacts, the environmental impacts, and the financial impacts—of a successful project.
