Learning Objectives
- Describe and discuss design-assist contracting and how it enables better collaboration with architects and engineers, CMs and trade contractors, and owners in a coordinated fashion.
- Understand how design-assist helps bring qualifications into selecting key trade contractors and CMs.
- Explain the range of services that can be utilized in choosing design-assist from preconstruction services through commissioning that avoids a one-size-fits all approach.
- Explain how lean construction tools can be coordinated with design-assist to achieve a more integrated or IPD’ish project.
Course Description
What is design-assist and why are owners and builders increasingly using this approach, especially on more complex jobs? Design-assist helps bring the General Contractor, CMs, and Trade Contractors, earlier into the process to support a more collaborative approach with a dynamic range of optional services from preconstruction services through project close-out. To be successful, owners’ must take a role in facilitating design-assist. Learn how the recently published ConsensusDocs 541 Design Assist Addendum provides the first industry standard tool for design-assist contracting.
Design-assist provides an opportunity to prequalify trade contractors in the preconstruction process, rather than just select based upon price. Arm yourself to allocate risk appropriately without getting stuck in the middle and how to memorialize contractual. Take projects to the next level of IPD’ish or IPD-lite project by combining design-assist with lean construction tools highlighted in the ConsensusDocs 305 Lean Construction Addendum.
