Send It: Design-Bid-Build & The Legal Chain of Command (CM4210_Ch02)

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.
