A Study on Management Priority of Design Changes Through Technical Proposal Tendering Case of Office Buildings

Abstract

Recently, the importance of design management for the effective and systematic management of architectural design has been emerged in the construction industry. Design management is an important part of the success and failure of the project from the planning stage to the construction stage. Failure of design management causes frequent design changes and leads to an increase in construction cost. This results in a monetary loss to the construction project. If systematic design management considering construction phase is performed, design change can be minimized. By analyzing and considering key proposals and design change factors for technical proposal tendering method in the design management phase, design for optimal construction and minimization of design changes can be possible. The purpose of this study is to present the priorities and the expected effects according to the major consideration of design change factors through analysis of design change factor and major proposal case of technical proposal tendering on office buildings.
