REPORT OF THE

COMPTROLLER GENERAL

OF THE UNITED STATES


Use Of New Construction Method


On Federal Projects At Three

Agencies Can Be Improved


Under conventional construction, the Federal
agency hires an architect to design the
building. Once the design is completed, a gen-
eral contractor is hired to construct the
building. The agency's in-house staff super-
v;ses the design and construction.

Under the construct on manager and phased
construction method, a construction manager
is hired as a consultant on the design and as
the manager of the construction. To reduce
the design and construction time, Lonstruc
tion contracts are awardea as phases of the
building are designed rather than after all
design is completed.
The Department of Health, Education, and
Welfare: General Services Administration; and
Veterans Administration have iiad mixed
success in

     reduced design and construction time
     frames, and

     -increasei value management savings.

Also the agencies should be working together,
rather than ndependently, to develop and
implement uiform guidance for selecting
construction managers and identifying the
orojects most suitabie f,,r use of these
techniques.
