Design and Build Contracts: Webinar On

This webinar will discuss design-build contracts, where the contractor is responsible for both design and construction. The speaker will cover the advantages of design-build contracts, including faster completion timelines when the contractor handles both design and construction. The talk will also address contractor design responsibility and compare the FIDIC 1999 design-build conditions to the Malaysian PWD Form. The speaker, Ir. Lim Eng Chong, has over 40 years of experience as both an engineer and construction contracts specialist on projects totaling RM5 billion in value.

Synopsis

Design and Build (“D&B”) contracts (sometimes referred to as Turnkey contracts) are sometimes
used as the vehicle to deliver projects in the building and engineering construction industry.

There are fundamental advantages to be gained from the letting out of contracts on D&B basis,
not least being that it lends itself to fast tracking in that a developer will normally require to have
the design ready only in outline form as the details can be left to be finalized by the contractor’s
design team during construction.

Thus, for example the minimum that will often be included in the tender will be building plans
and elevations sufficient to show for example the podium, car parks, and tower foot print
together with mechanical and electrical (including utilities) being described in the schedule of
prices and specifications. Contractors will often be able to take shorter duration to complete
project than if the developer is to complete design and then engage a contractor to carry out the
works.

A developer is of course free to delimit the extent that he wishes the contractor to carry out the
design with some design already carried out or define parameters which are to be applicable.

The talk will address the above issues as well as the very fundamental issue of contractor’s design
responsibility for D&B contracts. It shall be based essentially on the FIDIC 1999 Conditions of
Contract for EPC/Turnkey Projects but comparisons shall be made with the PWD Form.
