An inexperienced client is proposing to embark on a prestigious project for which design is of top priority. The client has consulted you to advise on the ability of novation to allow him to influence the design, if the design and build procurement route is chosen. Your advice must cover also the risks that the client and contractor will be exposed to from the use of this technique.

Design Team

Any building construction project is considered under the specialized area of structural engineering. Structural engineering is a sub-domain of civil engineering. Before building a construction project, the first and foremost important step is design and analysis. The design of a building involves performing a detailed drawing of the building to be constructed. The design engineers draw either by traditional hand drafting techniques or by using sophisticated computer-aided design (CAD) software. The design of the building is done to scale that includes all the features like beams and columns placement, wall structure, door and window placement, their respective dimensioning, etc. The design of the building is analyzed for durability, strength, and ability to withstand various forces, including forces of nature like aerodynamic forces.
