Design-build (or design/build, and abbreviated D-B or D/B accordingly) is a construction project delivery system where, in contrast to "design-bid-build" (or "design-tender"), the design and construction aspects are contracted for with a single entity known as the design-builder or design-build contractor. The design-builder is usually the general contractor, but in many cases it is also the design professional (architect or engineer). This system is used to minimize the project risk for an owner and to reduce the delivery schedule by overlapping the design phase and construction phase of a project. Where the design-builder is the contractor, the design professionals are typically retained directly by the contractor. The most efficient design-builder has design and construction professionals working directly for the same at-risk entity. This is one of the oldest forms of construction since developing from the "master builder" approach. HistoryThe design/build delivery system often cites the original "Master Builder" model used to build most pre-modern projects. Under the Master Builder approach, a central figure of the architect held total project accountability. From inception to completion, the master builder was the key organizational figure and strictly liable to the owner for defects, delays, and losses. The design/build system is a return to some of the fundamentals of the Master Builder approach. For nearly the entire twentieth century, the concept of Design-Build was classified as a non-traditional construction method in the United States, which is the last country to still embrace the old standard of Design-Bid-Build.

I want a software that allows me to design/build my own house like a true architect. Thanks? Asked by Kenneth Reganon - Mon May 26 00:35:59 2008 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments A. I would suggest Google's SketchUp. It's free and very easy, intuitive to use. You start by drawing a floor plan and/or just using simple 3d shapes and eventually drag and tweak until you have a 3d model of your home-to-be. But, no, architects probably won't be using that for their final, exact measurement, detailed drawings. AutoCad would probably be the program. But if you don't need that level of detail (you aren't an architect yeah?) it may be hard to justify the cost and the lengthy time trying to learn the program. (Here is a list of costs for various versions of AutoCad. It ain't cheap.: ) Maybe SketchUp is ok and if you want more you do SketchUp Pro for $500: "SketchUp Pro provides extra functionality for people who need to… [cont.] Answered by James H - Mon May 26 02:16:55 2008 Any body has experiences in wind tunnel design, build and operation? Q. If you think you have enough experiences in design, build and operation of a wind tunnel, and you are interested in helping me building one for my client somewhere in south east asia. Why don't you send me your cv and your expectation? Asked by rabbit.2006 - Tue Feb 20 08:45:14 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. I'm an aerospace engineering student at Politecnico di Milano and during some courses I had some experiences in using a windtunnel (actually quite small, about 30x30cm cross-section and about 5 m of overall length, "open" circuit). I had also the opportunity to visit also the "industrial" windtunnel in my university (used by Agusta, Aermacchi, Luna Rossa America's cup team...) that has a lot of really interesting solutions. I also visited other windtunnels in my university, also a plexiglass in-scale model of the "industrial" that is used for little experiments(about 60x40cm cross-section).. I have no experience in building windtunnel,(except when I was 13 years old, I tried to build one as school technical project, it worked, but only 10… [cont.] Answered by sparviero - Tue Feb 20 14:37:20 2007 Is it possible to design & build a projectile that can escape the earth's gravity (not a rocket but a bullet)?
Q. in other words, can a cannon shoot an object into outer space? Asked by Poyzin - Mon Jan 26 16:34:53 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. Certainly it is possible. You only need to have enough propulsion to overcome the escape velocity of Earth's gravity PLUS enough additional force to overcome the factor of atmospheric drag on the way up. The only difference between a rocket and a bullet is that one uses a barrel and uses its fuel VERY quickly, and the other doesn't use a barrel and uses its fuel more slowly. It is exactly the same process at work moving both objects. Kinetic energy. In theory if you placed all the fuel of a rocket at the bottom of a long barrel buried in the ground, and dropped the rocket case into the barrel (in reality you would have to build the rocket tough enough to withstand the shock and add more fuel to make up for the added weight),and then… [cont.] Answered by Chains - Mon Jan 26 16:57:12 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Design-Build"
