• Greater professional specialization
• Increase in specialized knowledge
• Promotion & advocacy of
professional interests & markets
• Ethical standards of practice
• Rise of conflict-of-interest issues
++Middle 19th century there was a clear
distinction had been made between design
professionals
Professional Societies
and builders
• 1852 American Society of Civil Engineers
an Architects (ASCEA)
• 1857 Architects dropped and American
Institute of Architects (AIA) was formed
++Design professionals wanted to
separate themselves from sometimes
corrupt builders
++Public contracting law mandating separation of design from construction
* Contractor selection solely on lowest responsible bid
* Existing Federal law requiring any federal project exceeding $100,000
to require two bonds (performance and a labor and material bond)
* Implemented during World War I and Wold War II to reduce the risk
The Miller Act (1935) of fraud, favoritism, undue influence, and reassurance to taxpayers

as licensed or certificated in most every state
Professional licensing requirements ++Professional license laws do not require design and construction be
separate functions
Lack of voluntary cooperation on more demanding jobsites lead to the
advent of new delivery systems:
* Construction managers (CM)
The Advent of Modern Design-Builders
* CM@Risk
*Design-Build (Integrated Project Delivery)
A comprehensive process including planning, design, construction &
other services, necessary for organizing, executing & completing a
Project Delivery
building
facility or project (method to organize, execute and complete a project)
Delivery system, Procurement method, and contract format (Developing
Three fundamental Owner decisions the "Acquisition Strategy)
*Establishes when the parties become engaged
* Influences the choices of contractual relationships among the parties
(determines how the parties constructing the project will interact with
each other)
Importance of the Project Delivery *Influences ownership & impact of changes & modifications of project
Method cost (determines the best method to ensure the Owner's project
objectives are met while at the same time allowing the project to be
completed on time within budget)
3 basic parties involved in the project Owner, Designer, and Contractor
delivery process
* Design-Bid-Build (D-B-B) sometimes called "Traditional", most
common and familiar delivery method
* Multiple Prime (M-P)
Familiar Project Delivery Methods
* Construction Management at Risk (CM@R) also known as CM/GC
* Design-Build (D-B)
