Owner with the ability to schedule and coordinate the work describes which delivery method?

• A. Design-Build
• B. Design-Bid-Build
• C. Multiple Prime Contracting
• D. IPD

Answer: (C)

When the owner is responsible for scheduling and coordinating the work, this aligns with multiple prime contracting. In this approach the owner signs separate contracts with several prime contractors (for different trades or portions of the project) and takes on the role of integrating those distinct scopes. Because each prime handles its own portion, the owner (often with a construction manager) must manage sequencing, interfaces, and overall schedule to ensure the project comes together. Other methods place the integration and coordination more within a single contractor or emphasize a highly collaborative team approach, rather than the owner actively coordinating multiple separate prime trades.
