2 Scenario 1: Small Town Library Construction Based on the owner's considerations and preferences, these are recommendations for a small rural municipality's library project (scenario 1), emphasizing competitive bidding and clearly defined design; a design-bid-build (DBB) approach would be more suitable. DBB ensures transparency in the contractor selection process and prioritizes cost control. Design-Bid-Build (DBB) 1.
As a Construction Manager, which Project Delivery Method would you use to address each project scenario and why? For a small rural municipality library project with a defined scope and a focus on cost control and competitive bidding, DBB is the preferred method. It allows for a clear separation of design and construction responsibilities, ensuring transparency and cost-
effectiveness. 2.
State the most appropriate time and project circumstances to use the above project delivery methods. Use separate heading for each method. State two considerations before choosing each project delivery method. Time:
At the beginning of project planning, when the design is complete and clearly defined. Project circumstances: • Municipalities seek competitive
and transparent pricing. • Project budget is limited and fixed.
3.
Identify/propose two other similar or typical scenarios where each method may be applied as well. Construction of schools, city offices and government buildings.
4.
Suggest the type of owner who would have a preference for each project delivery method and why: Owners with tight budgets who must participate in bidding prefer DBB because it provides a transparent and competitive contractor selection process.
3 5.
Three Advantages and three Disadvantages of each project delivery method. Use a Table format for your answers: Advantages: Disadvantages: Competitive prices Extend project implementation time Clearly divide of roles Contractor
’s limit
participation in the design Clearly defined plans reduce variation Potential for disputes over scope and changes Scenario 2: Highway Reconstruction After Earthquake For post-earthquake highway reconstruction (scenario 2), due to the need for rapid project completion and the possibility of changes in project scope, the design-build (DB) approach is appropriate. Then, DB enables faster project delivery and reduces administrative burden, which is important in emergency situations. Design-Build (DB) 1.
As a Construction Manager, which Project Delivery Method would you use to address each project scenario and why? DB is preferred for reconstructing a busy stretch of highway after an earthquake, where speed and cooperation are critical. This allows for faster project implementation and reduces administrative burden.
2.
State the most appropriate time and project circumstances to use the above project delivery methods. Use separate heading for each method. State two considerations before choosing each project delivery method. Time:
Plan projects early, when quick completion and collaboration are essential. Project situation: • The Government prioritizes rapid implementation of projects.
• Flexibility may be required to adapt to changing project conditions.

Identify/propose two other similar or typical scenarios where each method may be applied as well. Emergency response projects, disaster recovery efforts, and military base modernization. 4.
Suggest the type of owner who would have a preference for each project delivery method and why: Owners who need to complete their projects quickly, reduce administrative burden, and prefer sole responsibility should choose DB. This often happens in urgent and time-
sensitive projects. 5.
Three Advantages and three Disadvantages of each project delivery method. Use a Table format for your answers: Advantages: Disadvantages: Fast project delivery Potential for higher costs with changes Reduced administrative burden on owners Limited owner involvement in the design Improved collaboration Potential for conflicts between design and construction teams
