Construction Management Design-Build

‘ Most of you are familiar with design-build, but for those of you who are not…

design-build is a contractual arrangement between an owner and a single entity to both design and then build the entire project.’
Bob Seabrook on ‘Design-Build’

Lifecycle of a construction project

The stages of a typical construction project are defined as Feasibility, Design, Construction, and Operation, each stage relating to the project life cycle.

Feasibility

The feasibility studies stage considers the options for satisfying a client’s needs, enabling a client to prepare a business case for the preferred option, and deciding whether to proceed with the project

Design

The design of architectural, structural, and mechanical services and specifications describe the main components of the building and how they fit together. Once the design is agreed upon the costing is updated and the project is given to the owner for review and acceptance.

 

Construction

The construction phase sees the start and completion of the building asset. While monitoring the scope of the project, The Construction Manager will be overseeing the build as to the intent of the design. As the construction nears completion, the Construction Manager supervises building commissioning and closeout documents including shop drawings, as-builts, and a detailed list of inspections that have taken place, manuals, system tests.

Operation

The Building Operation phase begins with owner occupancy and the start of the warranty period. At this time the Construction Manager works with the Owner and sub-trades fine-tuning the completed works to the intent of the Engineer’s design.

Throughout the build, the Construction Manager handles public safety, time management, cost management, quality management, decision making, mathematics, working drawings, and human resources. Sharing responsibility with the construction management team resulting in a successful project.

HEALTH

Bob Seabrook on Site Safety

‘Safety is No Accident’

I believe that all incidents are preventable.

Therefore, workers must ensure workplace safety is a personal responsibility and obey the Occupational Health and Safety Act and the workplace safety policies of the Construction Manager as a condition of employment.

Furthermore, all unsafe conditions or acts in the workplace must be reported to Supervisory Personnel and Safety representatives. 

My goal is an incident-free workplace.
