An Overview of the Building Delivery Process

In most projects,

Design Team

the design team consists of the

architect, civil and structural
consultants, and mechanical,
electrical, plumbing, and fireprotection (MEPF) consultants.
In complex projects,
the design team may also
include an acoustical consultant,
roofing
and
waterproofing
consultant, cost consultant,
building
code
consultant,
signage consultant, interior
designer, landscape architect,
and so on.

Members of a typical design team, and their interrelationships

with each other and the owner in a traditional contractual setup.

An Overview of the Building Delivery Process

Design Team
In some projects,

the owner may contract some

consultants directly,
particularly a civil consultant
(for a survey of the site, site
grading, slope stabilization,
and site drainage).
A geotechnical consultant
(for investigation of the soil
properties), and a landscape
architect (for landscape and
site design),

Members of a typical design team, and their interrelationships

with each other and the owner in a project where some
consultants are contracted directly by the owner.

DESIGN PHASE
Schematic Design (SD) Stage Emphasis on
Design
Gives a graphic shape to the project program and not adequate to construct the building

Design Development (DD) Emphasis on

Decision Making
Focuses on developing pragmatic and practical solutions for the exterior envelop,
structure, fenestration, MEPF systems and so forth.

Construction Documents (CD) Emphasis on

Documentation
All documents required by the contractor to construct the building
Construction documents = construction drawings + specifications

PRECONSTRUCTION & BID NEGOTIATION PHASE

This illustration shows the relative
integration among three major
entitiesowner, architect (Arch.),
and contractor (Cont.)in four major
project delivery methods.
Note that there is limited integration
among the three entities in the DBB
or CMAR method, partial integration
in the DB method, and (supposedly)
full integration in the IPD method.
(The term architect implies the entire

design team, which includes the

architect and the architects

consultants.)

INTEGRATED PROJECT DELIVERY (IPD) METHOD

In an IPD method, all stakeholders in the project, such as the owner, architect,
architects consultants, general contractor, and subcontractors, contribute in constructing the virtual model.

The overall time needed for project delivery is generally shorter using IPD than a conventional delivery
method, although the time needed to complete the predesign and design phases is longer in IPD

POST CONSTRUCTION PHASE

Substantial Completion The most important
project date
Once the project is complete the contractor asks the architect to conduct a
substantial completion inspection. A list of incomplete portions of the work
referred to as the punch list is prepared.

Final Completion Date

The architect carries out the final inspection of the project after the completion
of all the corrective work. If passes, certification for final payment is issued

Record Documents / As built

The contractor is required to provide a set of record drawings reflecting
changes that were made during the course of construction
