Engineering Homework Help

I’m working on a engineering discussion question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

Considering the design-bid-build and the design-build delivery methods, answer the following questions using the grid below to justify your answers. For instance, if the owner bears the risk for the design for a specific delivery method, write the explanation for that in the cell which is in the intersection of owner and design.

Indicate who (owner, designer, contractor, construction manager, subcontractor) bears the risks for the outcomes of each of the following items and why.  [Please note that in some cases, more than one cell might be part of the answer for each line, and you should use the cell space to explain why that is.]
