AN OWNER IS CONTEMPLATING THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF A HIGH-
RISE APARTMENT BUILDING IN YOUR REGION’S CAPITAL CITY. IDENTIFY
POTENTIAL APPROPRIATE PROJECT DELIVERY SYSTEMS. WHICH MIGHT BE
PREFERRED? WHY?
The appropriate project delivery system I prefer for design and construction of a high-rise apartment
building in my region will be DESIGN-BUILD method. I would like to adopt this method because it
will be difficult for the owner to manage such a big project by contracting architect and contractor
individually. So, it is better to approach a single organisation which will coordinate among
themselves.
In design-build method a single contract with the organisation is formed which is responsible for both
designing and construction of the apartment. According to me, a proper coordination between the
designer and contractor is needed for the successful completion of a project and in this method both
designer and contractor have same goals to complete a successful project that meets or exceeds the
owner’s expectations.
Now as a high-rise apartment is to be constructed, its total cost, duration of completion, end result will
matter a lot and when the same group that designs the project also builds the project, much more
attention is given to pricing and scheduling in the design phase. This will results into a healthy design.
Moreover, a sense of continuity is much needed for the successful completion of a project. A design-
build firm is involved in the project from start to finish, which adds an efficiency and effectiveness to
the project.
Now as it is a big project, any collision or fight between the architect and contractor will lead to
degradation of the project. And as in design-build both the architect and contract are from the same
organisation, it cuts out the big egos which is so common in the design industry. The design and
construction should not be stressful otherwise it would affect the overall design. And a project like
high rise apartment needs complete discipline and management. So, adopting a design-build would
lead to a thoughtful construction throughout. Design-build is transparent because owners understand
the process and know what is going on at all times. The best partnerships work not because people say
what everyone wants to hear, but because they say what everyone needs to hear.
For such a big project, the major need is to manage time properly. This delivery method helps to
manage time effectively. The design and construction process overlaps in this method. As a result,
competitive bidding can be phased, redesigns are eliminated, materials with long lead times can be
purchased earlier, and work can begin before construction documents are finalized.
These are some reasons for choosing this delivery method for construction of high-rise apartment in
my region.
