Design-Related Preconstruction Services a) Validate agency/consultant design — Construction Manager evaluates the design as it is originally intended and compares it to the scope of work with both the required budget and schedule to determine if the scope can be executed within those constraints. A validated design is one that can be constructed within the budget and schedule constraints of the project.
Design-Related Preconstruction Services. □ Validate agency/consultant design—construction manager evaluates the design as it is originally intended and compares it to the scope of work with both the required budget and schedule to determine if the scope can be executed within those constraints. A validated design is one that can be constructed within the budget and schedule constraints of the project. □ Assist/input to agency/consultant design—the construction manager will offer ideas/cost information to the designer to be evaluated during the design phase. Ultimately, the designer is still responsible for the design. □ Design reviews—done to identify errors, omissions, ambiguities, and with an eye to improving the constructability and economy of the design submittal. □ Design charrettes—the construction manager would participate in structured brain-storming sessions with the designer and owner to generate ideas to solve design problems associated with the project. □ Constructability reviews—review of the capability of the industry to determine if the required level of tools, methods, techniques, and technology are available to permit a competent and qualified construction construction manager to build the project feature in question to the level of quality required by the contract. □ Operability reviews—bringing in the agency’s operations and maintenance personnel and providing them with an opportunity to make suggestions that will improve the operations and maintenance of the completed projects. □ Regulatory reviews—a check to verify that the design complies with current codes and will not have difficulty obtaining the necessary permits. □ Market surveys for design decisions—furnish designers with alternative materials or equipment along with current pricing data and availability to assist them in making informed design decisions early in the process to reduce the need to change the design late in the process resulting from budget or schedule considerations.
