Which item is included in a design and build contract but not in a traditional contract?

• A. Data
• B. Site info
• C. Work info
• D. Employers requirement

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is how requirements are defined and allocated when a project is procured. In design and build, the contractor is responsible for both design and construction, so there is a formal document called the Employer’s Requirements that sets out exactly what the client needs—performance goals, space and function, quality, standards, constraints, and timelines. This document becomes the binding reference the contractor must design to and deliver against, guiding decisions throughout the project.

In a traditional contract, design is done by separate consultants and the contractor is hired to build to the employer’s drawings and specifications. The contract doesn’t hinge on a single, formal “Employer’s Requirements” document that the contractor must satisfy through design; instead, the brief or project requirements are developed by others and the contractor follows the provided designs and specs. That’s why Employer’s Requirements is associated with design and build rather than a traditional procurement route.

So the item that fits the design-and-build approach—and sits outside a traditional contract’s core structure—is the Employer’s Requirements.
