Project Delivery
Method
Design-Bid-Build
One of the most popular distribution models is design-bid-build, which is the
conventional low bidder model. The project owner maintains distinct contractual
arrangements with the design team (architect and engineer) and the general
contractor (GC) who will carry out the construction tasks using this strategy.
The owner contracts independently with the architecture company that designs the
planning documents and the contractor who actually constructs the building in the
Design-Bid-Build method. This is the conventional approach, which follows the steps
of planning, building papers, bidding, and construction in that order.
Potential Risks
The Design-Bid-Build approach has certain disadvantages. Since construction
cannot begin before all plans are complete and all records are available for
bidding, the process can take longer. Construction on sections of a project will
begin when the majority of the plan is already being completed in other project
delivery methods. There are also multiple points of touch and there are multiple
contracts. For each side, the owner acts as a mediator for any design and
building issues that arise.
Here are some of the following risks:
• Before having a solid price on the real building process, the owner spends a
significant amount of project funds on planning.
• Change orders, delays, and extra costs initiated by the contractor could put
the owner at risk.
• The building process does not begin until all of the design drawings have been
completed. This will lengthen the project's total completion period.
• The general contractor is unable to provide input during the design phase
since they are not usually brought on board early in the process.

This implementation approach gives the owner
the cost savings of fair bidding while still
allowing the project to be phased.
Management
CM programs are divided into two factions: CM Agency and CM at Risk. The owner would do most of the programming

all of the finances. Behind the scenes, little is concealed or handled. To
ensure that there are no holes or overlaps in the bidding process, the CM
oversees the team and determines the scope sets. Bidders should be pre-
qualified so there are no unexpected bidders.

traditional structure.
Project Management
The method of planning and coordinating a company's resources in order to
accomplish a specific task, event, or duty is known as project management.
Personnel, funding, facilities, and intellectual property are among the services
managed, and the project can be one-time or continuing.
In the most fundamental form, project management includes the planning, initiation,
delivery, monitoring, and closure of a project.
Of the many project management methodologies and methods available are

traditional, cascade, agile, and lean.
Project management is important in a number of industries, including construction,

engineering, and information technology.
Design - Build
A single firm (plan-builder) and a single contract with the owner are used in this project delivery method to offer both architecture
and engineering design services as well as construction.
Risks are lessened

The probability of problems is significantly minimized where building planning and maintenance are done by the same party.
Throughout the planning process, the development staff has feedback, and the design team is readily available to discuss any
building problems that arise during construction.
Timelines that are shorter

In the planning process and the construction phase, where bids are collected, there is no time lag. The transformation between
stages is smooth, and development will also begin when planning is still underway, resulting in still fewer interruptions.
Budgeting is a lot easier now.

Design-build costs are much more stable, even though it isn't the cheapest alternative. The design-builder will wrap the total expense
into a solid range that should be very similar to the final cost, allowing the project owner to budget more effectively from the outset.
Advantages for the Proprietor
The architecture is under the supervision of the owner.
During the planning phase, construction feedback is received.
During the pre-construction phase, overlaps and holes in scope

are found.
Purchasing the building directly from the trades saves money.
Subcontracts and modifications are not subject to mark-ups.
Thanks to the early settlement of design and planning problems,

the timeline has improved.
Construction will begin earlier if work is packaged.
To stick to the scope budget, tighter monitoring is needed.
As the Owner's proxy, CM oversees the construction in the best

interests of the Owner.
Project Scheduling
Method or Tools
PERT - CPM
PERT and CPM are project management techniques that aid in the organizing,
preparation, and control functions of management. The acronyms PERT and CPM
stand for "Program Evaluation and Review Technique" and "Critical Path Method,"
respectively. Nowadays, corporations pursue major ventures that take years to
complete before they can begin commercial production.
The PERT and CPM methods greatly assist in the prompt execution of multiple work.
They minimize output times, interruptions, and conflicts. These techniques are
immensely helpful in arranging the various activities of the overall project and, as a
result, expediting and finishing it on time.
The PERT methodology may be used by a project
manager to calculate the completion period of a
project. The PERT technique employs three period
forecasts. There are both positive and negative
aspects. These numbers will help a project
manager decide how much effort to devote to a
project.
Benefits
Helpful in evaluating alternative pathways; Using
the PERT method, a project manager can
physically analyze any of the different paths that
can save time. It aids the project manager in
completing the project in the quickest possible
time.
GANNT CHART
A Gantt chart is a project management tool that can be used to organize and
schedule projects of any scale, but it's particularly useful for simplifying
complicated projects.
Project management timelines and assignments are converted into a horizontal bar
map that shows start and finish dates, as well as dependencies, schedules, and
deadlines, as well as how much of the job is completed at each point and who owns
the role. When a large group of individuals is involved, it is easier to keep tasks on
track.
• It has an ambiguous feel to it.
• It aids in the organization of your feelings.
ADVANTAGE • It demonstrates that you know what you're doing.

• It should make it easier for you to set realistic
deadlines.
• It has the ability to draw a lot of attention.
• They have the potential to become incredibly complex.

• The height of the bar does not indicate the amount of
DISADVANTAGE work completed.

• It is necessary to revise them on a regular basis.
• It's impossible to see anything on a single sheet of
paper.
Construction Scheduling Chart
A construction plan is a timeline for all of the activities and incidents that take place
over the duration of a job. Since it determines the equipment needed and the teams
in charge of each job during work, the construction timetable is a vital aspect of the
project planning process.
It takes a long time to prepare for a construction project. You want to go over it step
by step, without taking risks, and make the most detailed strategy possible. The
more time you spend on the building schedule, the less issues you'll have working
out the project plan, which is essential for effective construction project
management.
