Term

What is the primary objective during the Construction and Occpancy phase of the project?

Definition

To ensure that all design intent is directly linked to the evidence-based design goals, and that the research hypotheses are maintained during the bidding and negotiation process.

Term

Why is it important to engage the construction manager and sub-contractors early in the project?

Definition

It helps establish OWNERSHIP in the vision, the evidence-based goals, and design interventions of the project.

Term

What are the key components of the steps to include in the bid, negotiations and awards process?

Definition
  1. Prepare a list of potential trade contractors
  2. Provide a bid package strategy that expresses the goals and objectives set forth by the client, including the evidence-based design features
  3. Develop a bid proposal strategy that addresses the entire scope of work for each phase and stage of the project.
  4. Advertise and solicit competitive proposals
  5. Schedule and conduct pre-bid conferences
  6. Prepare bid tabulations, review proposals, interview trade contractors, make recommendations and negotiate the subcontract agreements
  7. Coordinate with required parties
Term

What is the role of the researcher in the construction phase of the EBD process?

Definition

To maintain alignment between what is being built and the requirements in the research hypotheses and research plan.

Term

What two things must the project team do in the construction phase to ensure that the research plan is incoporporated?

Definition
  1. Define what VARIABLES need to be controlled during construction for the research to produce valid, repeatable results.
  2. Involve the construction manager in the set up of the research plan to avoid unrealistic performance expectations that can adversely affect financial, schedule and scientific outcomes.
