Comparing Performance Quality of Design-Bid-Build (DBB) and Design-Build (DB) Project Delivery Methods in Nigeria 0 African Journal of Earth and Environmental Sciences Volume 2, No. 2., December, 2020, xxx-xxx Comparing Performance Quality of Design-Bid-Build (DBB) and Design-Build (DB) Project Delivery Methods in Nigeria Danlami Ebenezer Salla Department of Quantity Surverying, Bayero University, Kano. Kano State ABSTRACT Design-bid-build (DBB) and design-build (DB) are two prevalent construction project Article History delivery methods widely used in various countries of the world. Researches have generally compared these methods in terms of project quality, neglecting a very important quality Received: 17 February 2020 dimension; performance quality. This paper aims at comparing the perception of Received in revised form: 19 April 2020 construction professionals on performance quality of DBB and DB. It is based on a set of Accepted: 13 March 2020 Published Online: 9 September 2020 primary data from manually distributed research questionnaire to professionals in the built-environment, comprising of architects, builders, engineers and quantity surveyors. Keywords: Using the sampling table, a sample size of 350 was computed. A total of 140 questionnaires (were drawn from professionals who were employed in clients’ organizations Performance Quality, Design and Build (DB), Design-Bid-Build (DBB), Project (N52), contracting firms (N47), and consultancy firms (N41). Frequency counts of their Delivery, Nigeria responses were obtained and computed, from which the mean item score for each Corresponding Author Contact: performance quality criterion was computed to obtain their Relative Importance Indexes, Danlami Ebenezer Salla RII. Inferential statistical test was computed for responses of each of the groups and for the Email: [email protected] overall groups combined about performance quality criterion for DBB and DB. According DOI: 10.11113/ajees.v3.n1.104 to the professionals, DB outperforms DBB in terms of performance quality in Nigerian construction industry. Design & build method should therefore be promoted by public and private client alike. Public clients are encouraged to adopt Design & Build method in the delivery of their building construction projects, although not well supported by the subsisting public procurement laws in Nigeria. Performance Quality should be clearly defined at the early stages of building construction projects in Nigeria. 1.1 INTRODUCTION been compared largely in terms of project The choice of construction project delivery quality (Idiake, Shittu, Anunobi, & Akanmu, method is an important decisions that has a 2015; Pandit & Yadav, 2014), but an critical effect on project performance and important quality dimension; performance construction quality (Al Khalil, 2002; Park, quality (Watermeyer, 2010), has generally Lee, Kim, & Kim, 2015). Numerous studies been neglected in previous studies. (Yasamis, Arditi, & Mohammadi, 2002; Alzahrani & Emsley, 2013; Chang, 2016; 1.2 Concept of Design and Build and Jelodar, Yiu, & Wilkinson, 2016; Sullivan, Design-Bid-Build Asmar, Chalhoub, & Obeid, 2017) have been Under the design and build, the contractors conducted on enhancing the optimization in typically make decisions and carry out the the selection process of design-bid-build (DBB) works based on co-operation and coordination and design-build (DB) by simple comparison. (Ramus, Birchall, & Griffiths, 2006). DB and The design-bid-build and design-build, have DBB methods exhibit varying characteristics Volume 2, No. 1., June, (2020), 517-523 |[email protected]| and consequently have different advantages and dimensions with relevant strategies based on disadvantages. Therefore, the project different delivery methods (Morledge & Smith, participants may undertake unique quality 2013). Figure 1: Conceptual model for DBB and DB Source: Ashworth & Perera (2015) In DBB, the project owner divides project between the designer and the contractor; the tasks into two parts (i.e., the design two parties typically make decisions and component and the construction component) complete their work independently. However, and separately awards them to two entities in the DB method, the owner contracts the (i.e., a designer and a contractor). Figure 1 entire project to only one entity (a DB simplifies the DBB and the DB delivery contractor) that undertakes all the design and methods, with their unique attributes. As construction tasks of the project (Group, shown, no contractual relationship exists Mahdi, Riley, Fereig, & Alex, 2002). Table 1 Comparison between the DB and DBB Delivery Method (Chen, Zhu, & Zhang, 2009) Volume 2, No. 2., December, (2020), xxx-xxx |[email protected]| 1.2.1 Design-Bid-Build Since the mid-1940s, the architect‘s (Traditional Method) nomination and/or appointment of the Design-bid-build (DBB) remains the quantity surveyor has been gradually predominant delivery method for construction superseded by appointment by the Employer, services in the United Kingdom as well as sometimes before the selection of the architect many parts of the world (Morledge & Smith, and, in some cases, the latter‘s selection is 2013), with low-bid procurement being the made on the recommendation of the quantity predominant method for selecting construction surveyor. firms (Sullivan & Guo, 2009; El Asmar et al. 2010; Ballesteros-pérez, Skitmore, Pellicer, & 1.2.2 Design and Build Gonzalez-Cruz, 2015; Schöttle & Arroyo, Design and build projects aim to overcome the 2017; Nguyen, Lines, & Tran, 2018). problem of having separate design and However, increasing numbers of owners are construction processes by providing for them inclined to adopting alternative contracting within a single organization (Morledge & methods, such as design-build (DB) and Smith, 2013). The single firm is generally the construction manager at risk (CMAR), for building contractor, who may employ the better project performance (El Asmar et al. designers in-house or be responsible for 2016; Carpenter & Bausman 2016; Sullivan et employing consultants directly under their al.2017). Because procuring a qualified control. The major difference is that instead of contractor greatly affects the performance of approaching the designer for a building, the the project (El-Wardani, Messner, & Horman, employer briefs the contractor directly. The 2006; Carpenter & Bausman, 2016), from employer may choose to retain the services of early nineteenth century until about the 1950s, an architect or quantity surveyor to assess the the ways by which building projects were contractor‘s design or to monitor the work on promoted and carried out in the UK site. The prudent employer will always want conformed to straightforward and well-tried some form of independent advice. The design procedures. evolved by the contractor is more likely to be suited to the needs of the contractor‘s If the project was small, the building owner (or organization and construction methodology, ‗Employer‘, as he is often called) employed a and this should save construction time and building contractor to design and construct the construction costs. Some argue that the design building for him. Because buildings generally will be more attuned to the contractor‘s conformed to a well-defined pattern, construction capabilities, rather than the design contractors had within their organizations the requirements of the employer. The final full range of expertise and skills normally building should result in lower production required. In the case of larger projects, the costs on site and an overall shorter design and Employer appointed an architect to design the construction period, both of which should building, and he then produced drawings and a provide price savings to the employer (Arslan, specification. If the architect considered it Kivrak, Birgonul, & Dikmen, 2008; Lines & necessary (and the Employer approved), he Kakarappalli, 2018). There should also be then appointed a quantity surveyor to prepare some supposed savings on the design fees, even a bill of quantities. Then, on the basis of either after taking into account the necessary costs of the specification and drawings or the bill, any independent architectural advice. A further contractors were invited to tender in advantage to the employer is in the implied competition to carry out the work. Usually the warranty of suitability, because the contractor lowest tenderer was awarded the contract.

  • Building Civil Engineer 7244
    11-16-90 BUILDING CIVIL ENGINEER, 7244 Summary of Duties: A Building Civil Engineer plans, organizes, and directs the work of an engineering group checking plans, designs and specifications for a variety of buildings for compliance with the Los Angeles City Building Code, Planning and Zoning Code, and the State Building Codes for energy conservation and building access by the physically disabled. A Building Civil Engineer performs professional civil engineering work when checking plans for the more complex buildings and making special engineering studies. Incumbents use sound supervisory rules and techniques to build and maintain an effective staff and satisfy affirmative action responsibilities, and does related work. Distinguishing Features: A Building Civil Engineer normally supervises an engineering group which checks plans, designs, and specifications for structural as well as non-structural criteria on a variety of buildings. A Building Civil Engineer personally directs or performs the more difficult work or has overall responsibility for a project and uses considerable independent judgment in carrying it out. A Building Civil Engineer determines what is to be done, personally supervises the most difficult parts of the work, and delegates work to subordinates. As a bona fide supervisor, a Building Civil Engineer performs the full range of supervisory activities including: disciplining employees, taking care of grievances, rating employee performance, and approving time-off requests. The classes of Building Civil Engineer and Civil Engineer are different because: * A Civil Engineer supervises employees preparing plans, designs, and specifications for bridges, sewage treatment plants, and other public construction projects. * A Building Civil Engineer supervises employees checking structural, civil, and architectural plans to enforce the building, planning and zoning, energy, grading, and handicapped codes and regulations for private as well as public construction.

  • An Estimable Resource in the Actual Crisis of Civil Engineering?
    Proceedings of the First International Congress on Construction History, Madrid, 20th-24th January 2003, ed. S. Huerta, Madrid: I. Juan de Herrera, SEdHC, ETSAM, A. E. Benvenuto, COAM, F. Dragados, 2003. History of construction: An estimable resource in the actual crisis of civil engineering? Wemer Lorenz RISE AND DECLINE -A FIVE-MINUTE HISTORY OF THE CIVIL ENGINEER In the year 1762, the librarian of the Roman cardinal Albani, Johann Joachim Winckelmann, born in the North German town of Stendal, published a pamphlet titled «Anmerkungen über die Baukunst der alten Tempel zu Girgenti in Sizilien» (Remarks on the Architecture of the 01d Temples at Girgenti in Sicily) (Winckelmann 1762). In no time, this publication became the manifesto of the young neo-c1assicist movement in Europe. Evaluating his own systematic research of antique architecture, Winckelmann ca11s it the most appropriate model for any form of architecture, inc1uding contemporary. He distinguishes c1early between the «Wesentliche» (essential) and the «ZierJichkeit in der Baukunst» (daintiness of architecture). The c1ear distinction signifies an abrupt turning away from the previous baroque perception of architecture. The concept of the «essential» introduces construction as a defining parameter into architectural theory. According to Winckelmann architecture results primarily from constructive considerations. Noteworthy also is the context of his publication. Only a few years prior, in an Italian publication from 1748, one can find the term «inginiero civile» and in 1768, the term civil engineer is used for the first time in England, where the first «Society of Civil Engineers of the Kingdom» is founded in 1771. The Figure 1 civil engineer is born.

  • China Megastructures: Learning by Experience
    AC 2009-131: CHINA MEGASTRUCTURES: LEARNING BY EXPERIENCE Richard Balling, Brigham Young University Page 14.320.1 Page © American Society for Engineering Education, 2009 CHINA MEGA-STRUCTURES: LEARNING BY EXPERIENCE Abstract A study abroad program for senior and graduate civil engineering students is described. The program provides an opportunity for students to learn by experience. The program includes a two-week trip to China to study mega-structures such as skyscrapers, bridges, and complexes (stadiums, airports, etc). The program objectives and the methods for achieving those objectives are described. The relationships between the program objectives and the college educational emphases and the ABET outcomes are also presented. Student comments are included from the first offering of the program in 2008. Introduction This paper summarizes the development of a study abroad program to China where civil engineering students learn by experience. Consider some of the benefits of learning by experience. Experiential learning increases retention, creates passion, and develops perspective. Some things can only be learned by experience. Once, while the author was lecturing his teenage son for a foolish misdeed, his son interrupted him with a surprisingly profound statement, "Dad, leave me alone....sometimes you just got to be young and stupid before you can be old and wise". As parents, it's difficult to patiently let our children learn by experience. The author traveled to China for the first time in 2007. He was blindsided by the rapid pace of change in that country, and by the remarkable new mega-structures. More than half of the world's tallest skyscrapers, longest bridges, and biggest complexes (stadiums, airports, etc) are in China, and most of these have been constructed in the past decade.
