ENHANCING THE PROJECT DELIVERY QUALITY; LEAN CONSTRUCTION CONCEPTS OF DESIGN-BUILD & DESIGN-BID-BUILD METHODS

Comparative analysis of design/build and design/bid/build project delivery systems in Lebanon

Design/bid/build and design/build are two principal project delivery systems used worldwide. The performance of each project may differ with the type of procurement system used. This study has two aims: firstly, to assess and compare the performance of design/bid/build and design/build projects in Lebanon; secondly, to compare the results with the performance of equivalent systems in the Far Ea...

Design-Build: An Alternative Construction System

Design-build is a construction delivery method that is relatively new to state and local government. Seventeen statutes have been enacted since 1993 authorizing its limited use by the state and local agencies. In this report, we look at the experience of these agencies and examine the advantages and disadvantages of the design-build method compared to the traditional design-bid-build method. We...

Risk Analysis for Design-Build Construction Projects: A Simplified Approach

Construction Projects are being implemented under different contract systems in the Midwest. Negotiated design-build has been a popular contract system in recent years. It provides various advantages through entailing the contractor to be responsible for the whole project. However, design-build turns out to be risky system for both owners and contractors unless the risks are identified, quantif...

Workflow Re-engineering for Implementing a 4D Construction Management Tool in a Design-Build Project

The use of 4D management tool in construction industry has been growing rapidly in recent years in response to soaring demands on efficient construction management. Successful implementation of this tool in an engineering firm for use in real projects is still challenging. This paper shares the experience on implementing an in-house 4D management tool in a large EPC (Engineering, Procurement an...
