Why
Design Build... Why Not?
The
second Phase of the program "Why Design Build…
Why Not?" was presented to the membership for
two HSW learning units by Barry Bannett, RA, AIA,
DBIA of AIA West Jersey. Barry made a dynamic power
point presentation explaining the benefits of an architect
getting involved in design build. A brief history
of Design Build was outlined, case studies were highlighted
such as the Hoover Dam and the Phoenix Project at
the Pentagon. Some of the advantages of Design Build
are:
*Most cost effective delivery system
*Design submission and pricing project at the proposal
stage possible
*Earliest knowledge of firm costs
*Allows most innovations/options for owner to select
*Fastest delivery system
*Delivers equal or higher quality
*Allows clearest definition of risks
*Least claims and litigation
Some
of the drivers of Design Build are:
*Early completion
*Reduced owner staffing
*Less management effort
*Reduces uncertainty
*Less conflict
*Lower costs
*Increased quality
*Innovation
Architects
should practice Design Build because it offers them
an ability to expand their processes and business
and opportunities for increased compensation while
providing a service as a single source of responsibility
to the owner and architects have the vision, the leadership,
the client focus and the technical knowledge in this
unique type of project delivery.
Thanks,
Barry to you and your staff for your presentation,
vision and your willingness share your expertise with
AIA New Jersey.
