Designer-Led Design/Build - Alternative Project Delivery Method for Facade Evaluation and Repair Projects - Case Study on an 11 Story Apartment Building

摘要

Traditional Design/Bid/Build project delivery methods are inherently cumbersome for complex facade repair programs. The repair program on an 11 - story apartment building is documented, demonstrating the aspects and benefits of utilizing a Design/Build contracting approach, with the Design-Professional leading the repair program. The project begins with an assessment that concludes with the recommendation to replace the facade. Early evaluation efforts document the need for immediate safety/ stabilization measures, then progress through the successful delivery of a complex facade repair program under a project delivery method that is growing in acceptance.
