In this method, the design and the construction roles are combined into a single responsibility and the team is referred to as the Design Build Contractor. The architect is under contract to the contractor and not the owner. The advantages of this method are that the owner is dealing with one contract for the design and construction and does not get involved in the details of the design and construction. The design can be accomplished according to the budget and easily be changed if necessary. Since the maximum price is set in an early stage, this method is faster than the design-bid-build and the construction manager method. However, there are drawbacks to this approach. Since the architect and contractor report to the design/build firm, a conflict is created between the owner and the design/build firm. Also, as the design and construction roles are part of the same team, this can lead to a disadvantage. As the owner is no longer dependent on the architect, the architect’s judgement is no longer provided to the owner and this leads to quality control problems. (what I think if this is the best method or

The meeting was called to order and a Roll Call of Council Members taken, presumably to determine the presence of a quorum of Council.

With respect to each separate item motions were made, seconded and passed by Council to authorize these expenditures. At no time was input on these motions sought from homeowners.

When sitting in the BAR room, I noticed that the public opposed any construction that would disrupt the Charleston atmosphere. They public and the board focused more on preserving the rich architecture styles in Charleston and finding ways to incorporate new innovate architecture styles that would respect ant still fit in within Charleston. The first house followed the Historic District rules by using compatible materials and 19th century architecture features on the building. The second building contrasted with the Charleston architecture. Therefore, public and the board criticized the plan and did not approve
