Purpose and Background
Alternative project delivery methods have become both well-accepted and widely used in both the design and construction industry. Nevertheless, many practitioners have little or no actual knowledge and experience with projects delivery using construction manager-at-risk (CMAR), design-build (DB), progressive design-build (PDB) and public private partnerships (P3). This course will furnish a foundational knowledge of the key concepts and approaches used to develop and deliver projects using the four previously cited methods.
Benefits and Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:
- Describe the key terminology related to each delivery method including the differences between the same term used in different methods.
- Explain the differences between alternative delivery methods used for building project and those in use for civil infrastructure projects.
- Identify the key risks inherent to each delivery method from the owner’s, designer’s and contractor’s perspective.
- Identify appropriate delivery methods given the details of a specific project.
Assessment of Learning Outcomes
Achievement of the learning outcomes by attendees will be assessed through a final exam.
