create final design documents. (1)
Architectural Program
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
Involves creating written documents that identify tangible needs a building must meet.

in existing or proposed buildings through a test fit. (1)

Building Codes and Zoning Codes (1)

4 Primary Project Delivery Methods
- Design Bid Build
- Design Build
- CMAR
- Multiple Prime Contracts (2)
Design- Bid- Build Method
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
Achieves the owner's goals with reasonable speed and costs. (2)
Limitations of Design- Bid- Build Method

, Project management organizations can complete the project more quickly with lower
costs. (2)
Success Factors for Design- Bid Build Method
- 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
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
Combines the design and construction phases; encourages collaboration. (2)
Limitations of Design- Build Method
Saving money for the owner is not a priority for the contractor. (2)
CMAR Method
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
- 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
Benefits of CMAR Method
Integrated efforts provide value- added expertise. (2)
Limitations of CMAR Method
Different interests of the owner, design professional, and contractor can lead to conflict.
(2)
Success Factors for CMAR Method
- Ability to restrain the contractor pool
- Strong owner knowledge of the type of facility being built
- Owner/ project team relationship is already existing, or there is a partnering agreement
- Pre- qualification standards
- Outline specifications
- Schematic drawings (2)
Multiple Prime Contracts Method
Owner divides a project into 2 or more parts and then enters into a separate contract for
each part. Used for large or complex construction projects that require phases and
multiple bid packages. (2)
Benefits of Multiple Prime Contracts Method
Project admin manages the total project to complete on time and on budget. (2)
Limitations of Multiple Prime Contracts Method
Structural challenges present unique financial demands and legal complexities. (2)
Success Factors for Multiple Prime Contracts
