| Abstract |
Design-Build is a process that integrates the design and construction services and enables the owner to contract with a single entity for project design and construction. The relationships, obligations and rights of the contracting parties on Design-Build project delivery method based on single-point responsibility are very different from the traditional Design-Bid-Build project delivery method. Professional associations in U.S.A. publish the standard forms of contract documents to assist their constituents to create accurate and comprehensive contracts. This paper presents a study, which reviews the contractual issues of Design-Build contracts related to design liability and contractual risks through analyzing the standard forms of Design-Build contract documents published by professional associations of AIA, DBIA, and EJCDC. Thus, this paper is intended to assist Design-Builder and Designer in establishing resonable design contracts to appropriately allocate Design-Build contractual risks. |
