State of Design-Build Project Delivery
Design-Build continues to rise in both Public and Private Business Sectors. “By the end of year 2006 over 50% of all construction projects will be delivered by the Design-Build Method.” Engineering News Record Architects must recognize that Design-Build is here to stay, therefore to take a Leadership Role they must look to Designer-Led Design-Build and Integrated Project Delivery. Leadership in Design-Build
“More than half of all D-B projects are structured with the Contractor as the Team Leader.”
Rosemarie Buchanan, AIA Chicago Magazine April 2002
Leadership in Design-Build
“Forty percent of all new construction in the United States is produced using Design-Build delivery…yet, less than ten percent of the forty percent is led by Architects.”
Rosemarie Buchanan, AIA Chicago Magazine April 2002 Cheaper and Faster
One study of 350 projects showed the following: Contracting Method Cost Increase
Design-Bid-Build (traditional) 4.84% Construction management 3.34% Design/Build 2.37%
Design-Build: no delays (vs. 4.44% normal)
Design-Build: median activity of 9,000 s.f. per month (vs. 4,500 s.f. normal)

Design and 1900 Construction
Middle Ages
Renaissance Ancient History
Master Builder or Design-Builder is not a new concept.
Originates in Greek word for From which we have Ancient Master Builder derived the modern Greek Society was “Arkhitekton” word “Architect”
Design Build History
For 4,500 years Design-Build “Trend” continues
2630 B.C. Master-builder Imhotep designs and builds pyramids in Egypt; Deified as a “God” Code of Hammurabi
If a builder has built a house for a man, and his work is not strong, and if the house he has built falls in and kills the house-holder . . .that builder shall be slain! Fortunately, the law has changed. . .
Roman Architect and Master Builder Vitruvius
Master Builder Principles Firmness Commodity Delight = Quality, Value, and Design
As Architects, we’ve focused on Delight, and relinquished our role as Master Builder DesignMaster Build Builder History Marcus Vitruvius Pollio
Vitruvius's scope is astonishing. Historians call him the great Roman architect. Most of his books do deal with buildings. But look more closely: − He talks about city planning, building materials, and acoustics. He has a lot to say about timekeeping. − He explains water clocks and sundials. He describes all kinds of pumps. Before he's done, he's written about astronomy, medicine, music, the arts - even contract law. Dr. John H. Lienhard – University of Houston from The Engines of Ingenuity
Medieval History
Tradespeople and Trade Guilds dominate the building environment.
The Mason is the most respected of all Tradespeople.
The coordinator of the work – the leader – is the Architect – the Master Builder.
Buildings are beautiful, complex and technologically advanced under the Master Builder approach. Medieval History
Technological Advances- The Flying Buttress

The American Experience – 1700’s
“Thomas Jefferson was an architect, a problem solver and a master builder – and his associates were leaders and master builders. During this period of our history, architects were known as leaders – not only in architecture – but in life.” Richard Swett, FAIA speaking on Leadership by Design - 2004
Monticello and the University of Virginia The American Experience – 1800’s
“It is well know…that in the early part of the present century (1800’s), and for many years before, the architect was commonly the principal contractor for the building…the trade guilds still flourished … so the only way to include a whole building in one contract was to make an agreement with someone outside the trades and let him make sub-contracts with the trades. The person with whom the principal contract was usually made would naturally be the architect.”
1894 by T. M. Clark, FAIA Architect, Owner and Builder before the Law
The American Experience – 1900’s
Early 20th Century – Owners, Architects, and Contractors still often team on project. The AIA, AGC and other Professional Societies are formed and helped define the differentiation in our industry The Miller Act of 1935 furthers the separation And by the late in the 20th Century (1960+) there is a clear division between design and construction …but only in our industry! Design-Build Standards
Design and Construction
Why did we separate design and construction? Split in Design and Construction in the Building Industry
1. Historic Trend towards Professionalism 2. The Great Depression and WWII 3. The Miller Act of 1935 4. Growth in Professional Societies 5. Architect’s Aversion to Risk
Trend to Professionalism 1
Started during the Italian Renaissance in the 15th Century. Heated up in the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Great Depression 2
Economic depression during the 30’s until World War II limited the amount of new building construction for fifteen years.
The Miller Act of 1935 3
Significant cause of absolute separation of Design Professionals from Construction Trades. Law requires a Contractor on Federal contracts that exceed $100,000 to post two bonds. – A Performance Bond – A Labor and Materials Payment Bond Effects of the Miller Act of 1935
After The Miller Act of 1935 Clear separation of Design and Construction. Owner hires Architect / Engineer to design the Building. Owner hires the General Contractor to build the Building.

AIA on Design-Build
“The Design-Build approach returns American Architects to their pre-World War II role, in which they oversaw construction as well as design. Of the design-led project delivery methods, it offers the greatest opportunities but also carries the greatest risk.”
Ron Gupta, AIA and Paul Doherty, AIA Architect’s Handbook of Professional Practice 13th Edition AGC on Design-Build
“The leadership dynamic in the (AEC) industry is changing; moving away from the Architect and toward the Constructor.”
“AGC's position on Design-Build has been that the designer is part of the builder's team with the constructor leading the way.”
Ralph Johnson, AGC President at AGC National Convention 2001
Why Design-Build?
“As a project delivery method, Design-Build may be as old as the Pyramids, but its return seems particularly suited to the needs and pressures of our time.” “Why? Because Design-Build is about getting things done. It's about designers designing and builders building - and owners maybe even smiling. It's about making money and progress at the same time.”
Rob McManamy, Editor-in-Chief - Design-Build Magazine Architect’s Risk Aversion 5
Most Architects in the 20th Century have been trained to avoid risk. In general, architect’s personality types tend to be less risk averse than contractors.
Architects 20th Century Training
Examples of AIA language pre-1978 – The Architect, as agent for the Owners, is there to protect the Owners’ rights. – The Architect is not the Owner and cannot require the contractor make changes. – The Architect cannot guarantee or insure the results (on a building project). Distant from the Master Builder Principles. Architects have been taught to avoid Risk.

Creation of the American Institute of Architects (1857) was well received Fees for a scope of work, rather than itemized charges, set the profession apart from contractors Schedule of fees created in 1866 First standard form of agreement in 1888 Code of ethics created in 1909.

History of Design-Build
An AIA task force in 1968 polled architects to determine which services were being provided. Publication of the results in 1975 indicated that owners preferred a single point of contact on projects. AIA Design-Build contracts were first published in 1985 (last updated in 2004).

“Members may not engage in building contracting where compensation, direct or indirect, is derived from profit on labor and materials furnished in the building process except as participating owners.”
Source: AIA Ethical Rule 404, 1977.
History of Design-Build
“The AIA maintains that projects can be effectively designed and constructed by a variety of delivery methods, including but not limited to Design-Bid- Build, Design-Build, and negotiated select team. The AIA also believes an architect is the most qualified to lead alternative project delivery teams, and advocates that architects should be retained in that role regardless of which delivery method is used.”

Contracts Communication
Design-Bid-Build
Most common form of project delivery – Three phases, three prime players – Independent contracts between architect/owner and contractor/owner – Linear sequence of work – Common with public owners with requirements to select low bid

Contracts Communication
Design-Build
Owner contracts with a single entity – Both design and construction services – Contractors more commonly head the team – Single point of responsibility – Not legal in all states – Two players
Source: AIA/CC Handbook on Project Delivery Single Point of Responsibility
Advantages − Single source of responsibility − Shortened project delivery time − Early commitment to cost − Minimizes owner’s risks − Reduces change orders − Minimal construction delays.
Source: AIA/CC Handbook on Project Delivery
Single Point of Responsibility
Disadvantages – Complex delivery method – Lack of direct communication between owner/architect and owner/contractor – Potential for compromises in quality to meet budget – Perceived conflict of interest.
Source: AIA/CC Handbook on Project Delivery Single Point of Responsibility
Architects typically have the initial contact with the owner Early decisions are best made by the architect Owners view architects as trusted advisors and licensed professionals Architects are able to present options and communicate with owners well More logical since it follows the natural, chronological sequence of involvement Owner is familiar with the architect as an agent during construction Unique design features can be given a priority.
Single Point of Responsibility
What prevents architects from taking charge: − Misunderstanding of Design-Build − Lack of knowledge regarding Design-Build − Not risk takers by nature − Not comfortable with making the financial investment − Not able to secure a bond for public work − Perceived conflicts of interest. Architect-led Design-Build
Overall project management Better design control Shortened schedule Reduced risk and litigation Market differentiation Improved client satisfaction Increased profits Renewed enjoyment through building.
Getting Started
Confirm business model Research necessary risk management coverage Brainstorm policies and procedures Hire an experienced general contractor Seek out familiar project types Start with small projects Take notes and learn as you go Share rewards with the team. Today’s Role
The design and construction industry is on the edge of an enormous change: – Projects will be completed faster as a team – Drawings for clients will be in 3-D – Results will be of more value than the process – Clients need to be understood on their terms – Design and construction fields have not embraced process innovation – Clients and contractors should be more involved in the design process – The “Next Architect” can be the leader to manage the future teams in design and construction.
