About this listen
On this tactical episode of Send It, JC breaks down the "Rules of Engagement" for construction project delivery.
Navigating a project isn't just about moving dirt; it's about understanding the legal hierarchy that keeps the job site running. We dive into Chapter 2 of Construction Contracting and Module 1 to clarify exactly who works for whom—and who carries the risk.
In this Deep Dive, we cover:
- Design-Bid-Build (DBB): Defining the traditional "three-phase" delivery method and why it matters.
- The Chain of Command: Clarifying that the Prime/General Contractor—not the Owner—is solely responsible for selecting and managing subcontractors.
- Privity of Contract: The legal concept that connects the Owner to the Prime, but shields the Owner from the Subs.
- The Owner's Risk: Why Design-Build methods might result in a higher price tag for the Owner compared to traditional bidding.
- Defining the Players: Clear, legal definitions for the General Contractor (the overseer) and the Owner (the one paying the bills).
Whether you are studying for your BSCM exams or managing a crew on site, you need to know where the buck stops.
