This new exercise physical therapy facility involves very complex mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems, totaling over 45% of the entire construction budget. The owner had a bad prior experience with a fully designed-bid-built mechanical project. Under the recommendation of the architect and estimating consultant, they decide to employ design-build (D-B) mechanical and electrical subcontractors directly. Legally based on this case do you agree utilization of D-B MEP subcontractors helps control costs? What role could a third-party MEP designer play with respect to "criteria documents"? How much are design fees for MEP subcontractors? Who should carry these design contracts, the owner, the architect, or the general contractor? Who carries the insurance for this work? Who is named as additional insured? What risks do all of the parties assume
