Construction Contract Administration Objectives
To control: time, cost, quality, information flow and to satisfy the Owner's goals and objectives for the
project

of Construction


Design Bid Build Disadvantages

fostered


Multiple Prime Advantages

require it


Multiple Prime Disadvantages
Owner has risk of controlling time and coordination, multiple accountability for performance,
unknown "final" cost at construction start, same owner risks as traditional approach


CM at Risk Advantags
Well-suited for fast-tracking, contractor (and subcontractor) input on design alternatives, better cost
info, permits "picking" of the builder


CM at Risk Disadvantages
Change of CM's accountability after, GMP (guaranteed maximum price) is signed, tempted to sign
GMP "too soon", variations in procurement methods


Design-Build Advantages
Accountability for project delivery, reduced disputes, can cut time and cost, builder can have input to
design/constructabibility, budget established early on


Design-Build Disadvantages
Early definition of the program required, owner's loss of control during design, potential for quality to
be compromised

completion

Best value selection, freedom to pick subcontractors, easier choice of alternatives, opportunity NOT
to pay for design errors


Negotiated Price Contract Disadvantages
Potential abuse, may not be legal, requires expertise on the part of the owner (or their consultants)

Unknown quantities of work, risky work, work that is impossible to define


General Contractor Reimbursement Methods
Lump sum, GMP (Guaranteed Maximum Price), Unit Price, Cost Plus a Fixed Fee, Time and Materials


What are the four main delivery Contract Methods?
Design Bid Build (Traditional Method), Multiple Prime, CM at Risk, Design Build
