This thread is part of Real-World Practice, our self-paced, case study feature that helps you apply your knowledge in realistic scenarios using references, layered questions, and targeted takeaways.
You’re right as a general rule, but it’s important to consider all factors of a project when selecting a delivery method. This question is also looking at schedule and risk/definition, not just unclear scope.
Design-Bid-Build is best when the owner wants time to fully define scope, get competitive bids, and reduce coordination/change risk.
Design-Build is best when the owner needs the fastest delivery (overlapping design + construction) and is okay committing earlier with less price separation.
Hope this helps!

Where did it say that the contract was not sign?? because if the there isnt a program then you would want to add that ass a supplemental service before the the contract is signed
I’m also confuse with the question (question 2) if the scenario says that the soil/water remediation is required and are inexpensive then why is now a concerning factor with the client budget? i don’t know if I’m not reading the the question right.
