In a design and build contract, the documents that define what’s to be delivered, how it will be priced, and the formal agreement are essential. The contract should include the contract agreement to formalize the legal relationship, the employer’s requirements to set out the project brief and performance criteria, the contractor’s proposals to show the design-build solution and price offered, the contract sum analysis to break down the total price into its components, and the bill of quantities to provide measured quantities used for pricing and payment purposes. These elements together cover the legal framework, the project brief, the proposed design and price, and the detailed pricing basis needed for ongoing cost management. The option that substitutes generic data for one of these project-specific documents doesn’t align with how design and build contracts are typically structured, so it’s not correct.
