Advantages And Uses Of Design And Build Procurement

All parties of construction project will benefit from IPD. The integrated process required more participants' involvement at early stage, because the IPD structure will recognize the compensation and reward at early involvement. The compensation will be based on adding value to the project and it will rewards what's the best for the project instead of individual benefit. For example providing incentives tied to achieving project objectives and goals. The concept is to use innovative business models to enhance collaboration and efficiency.

A basic definition for the procurement is “the way the building is realised” and “involves assembling and organising the skills and services of a team of construction professionals”. (the Construction Round Table, 1995). More precisely, the construction industry describes procurement as “a system that establishes the roles and relationships which make up a project organisation”; hence the overall organisation and communication structure for the management, administration and control of a project is established by the procurement system. (D.C.H Coles, 2010)

Over the past few years, the construction industry has been changing dramatically. One of the most important stages in the construction management and business management is the planning phase. They share similar two main levels of planning which are the strategic and operational planning. However, business management planning to decide in advance what should be done, and how to do it, when you do and you are done. On the other hand, Construction management strategic planning is to deal with selection on a high level of overall objective of the project, including the scope, procurement methods, schedules and financing options but the planning of operations, including the

In this method, the design and the construction roles are combined into a single responsibility and the team is referred to as the Design Build Contractor. The architect is under contract to the contractor and not the owner. The advantages of this method are that the owner is dealing with one contract for the design and construction and does not get involved in the details of the design and construction. The design can be accomplished according to the budget and easily be changed if necessary. Since the maximum price is set in an early stage, this method is faster than the design-bid-build and the construction manager method. However, there are drawbacks to this approach. Since the architect and contractor report to the design/build firm, a conflict is created between the owner and the design/build firm. Also, as the design and construction roles are part of the same team, this can lead to a disadvantage. As the owner is no longer dependent on the architect, the architect’s judgement is no longer provided to the owner and this leads to quality control problems. (what I think if this is the best method or

This paper includes a description of the procurement planning process. The most valuable output of the plan procurement process will be identified. Furthermore, the various contract types will be explained. A source criterion that would be applicable to any project will be described and three criteria that would apply to most projects will be identified. An analysis of the ethical

Therefore, Procurement will review the vendor and pricing details of the purchase requisition and if there are any changes to be made they be communicated to the engineer. Once the engineer makes the required changes to the work order, the material

We are requested to assist the building with creating a method of construction cost data for client throughout the pre contract. The task of data collection is a difficult procedure and can be include to wide variations. Based upon our experience as quantity surveyors we chose to develop a cost data collection method. Our define construction line items and quantities for relativity building types.

In construction projects, mostly the firms (in this case the firms become client) do not have the skills or develop skills inside the firms to undertake the projects due to amount of the projects should be conducted or the complexity of the projects (Reve and Levitt, 1984). Therefore, the economic decision to conduct the projects is to procure them to third parties. However, more commonly the client agonize the final quality of the projects will meet standard requirements. Thus, impacts to involvement of complex contracts of construction procurement.

Choosing construction management as a procurement strategy means the client is responsible for leading the

Client and the contractor have same priorities. Basically, contractor will make the decision in turnkey approach and client will just accept in silent. In this project, the contractor and the client have the same focus and priorities therefore the relationship between the contractor and client is good and there is no overruns or communication problems between both sides.

terms of time can be managed in this scenario, as there is no specific delivery

Keeping all this in mind, builders have to work alongside clients to satisfy their project needs. Projects are also being built quicker because of the demand to occupy them instantly.

This type of procurement strategy is a ‘fast track’ strategy. Client pays a sum of money to hire a management contractor to manage the whole construction project. Therefore, some early work can be carried out before the design is complete. The contract for the construction projects are between the management contractor and sub contractor. The final cost for the project can not be identified until the final work has been awarded.

Design and Build – The contractor is single point responsibility with the contractor, where they put across a design with a tender and if they are successful they win the tender.
