Describe the Design-Bid-Build contracting method.
What will be an ideal response?
The owner contracts initially with an architect to define the project scope, perform pre-design services, and produce the construction documents. Once the documents are complete, the project is sent out for proposals to qualified contractors. The contract is usually awarded to the most qualified bidder who submits the lowest cost estimate. The general contractor solicits bids from subcontractors using the same bidding procedure. The project responsibilities are divided among the various team members with whom the owner establishes separate contractual relationships.
