Construction Manager In Training (CMIT) Practice Test

In the traditional project delivery approach, design and construction are handled under separate contracts in a sequential flow. Designers or engineers complete the detailed project documents first. Those plans and specs are then used to solicit competitive bids from contractors, and a contractor is selected based on those bids to perform the construction work. This separation of design and construction and the reliance on bidding to award the construction contract define the traditional method, which is design-bid-build. Other delivery methods, like design-build, combine design and construction under one contract and team, CM-at-Risk involves a construction manager who oversees the project and then builds under a GMP, and multi-prime contracting has SAMPLEthe owner hire multiple contractors for different parts of the work. These options differ from the traditional sequential, separate-design-bid-build approach.
