Project delivery system
Organization for construction… flow of activities
Idea for project, hire designer, design concept, final
design, cost estimate, contract documents, bidding
process, select contractor, notice to proceed, preconstruction meeting, inspection of work, project
turnover to owner.
Roles of individuals… owner, designer, builder, PM, CM,
owner’s rep
Who has responsibility for quality control on a project?
What is QA and what is QC.
How do you verify that construction conforms to the
design?
Typical types of projects, traditional, design-build. Who
hires the designer in each?

types; conceptual & detailed.. when are
they used and what is the accuracy of each
 What is the order of precedence of CDs
 If conflict between drawings & specs,
which is followed.

should you use them
Contract Types & Uses
 Contracts – what are the types typically
found – fixed price & cost plus
