Architecnote

A collection of sketches & notes to tell the story of architectural competency. We aim to bridge the gap between the education & the practice of Architecture.

Think of the shared parameters as criteria setting up the framework for the #ConstructionPhase as it relates to the other #PreConstruction & #PostConstruction phases

[Architecnote @architecnote]

The #ConstructionCycle

[Architecnote @architecnote]

We’ll go through how the shared key parameters both establish & restrain the process of each phase of the #ConstructionCycle

[Architecnote @architecnote]

#PreConstruction signals the transition from 1. #procurement to 2. #construction in the same way #Closeout signals the transition from 2.#construction to 3. #occupancy.
#CSI

[Architecnote @architecnote]

The way we would like to approach the specific details about the processes & requirements of each construction phase from #PreConstruction, #ProjectConstruction, to #ProjectCloseOut is by drawing the similarities between the phases.

.. Plan the beginning anticipating the end.

We’ll go through the role of the #CMc in more details during the construction phase; in comparison to the other #ProjectDeliveryMethods.

[Architecnote @architecnote]

Please note here, the third one assuming the highest risk #ConstructionManagerAsConstructor is a #ProjectDeliveryMethod considering the #CMaR is acting as the #GeneralContractor

[Architecnote @architecnote]

#ConstructionManager options in order of lowest agency to the highest risk assumed:

1. #CMAdvisor
2. #CMAgent
3. #CMConstructor or #CMatRisk

[Architecnote @architecnote]

A conflict of interest may arise during the design stage if the #CMaR is providing services that influence the design.

If so, it’s critical to have open communication & mutually beneficial relationship between the #DesignTeam, #Architect & the #CMaR to avoid duplicate efforts.

[Architecnote @architecnote]

A simple way of putting it is; the #CMasAgent is actively carrying some of the owner responsibilities per the agreement with the owner but the #CMasAdvisor can only advise the owner with no authority to make decisions on their behalf.

[Architecnote @architecnote]

For some unique, large or complex projects, the owners may lack sufficient internal expertise to manage all the project stages, specifically the construction stage. Therefore, the owners may utilize one of three #ManagementOptions to replace or support the #ProjectDeliveryMethod.

[Architecnote @architecnote]

#CMasAgent not only assists the owner with constructability reviews, scheduling, evaluation, and documentation of claims but also the #CMa provides financial oversight during construction, including monitoring payment, requests and the overall construction budget.
