Project delivery planning is a key stage used by the project owner (or project investor) for organizing design, construction, and other operations in a construction project. The main task in this stage is to select an appropriate project delivery method. In order to analyze different factors affecting the PDM selection, this paper establishes a multiagent model mainly to show how project complexity, governance strength, and market environment affect the project owner’s decision on PDM. Experiment results show that project owner usually choose Design-Build method when the project is very complex within a certain range. Besides, this paper points out that Design-Build method will be the prior choice when the potential contractors develop quickly. This paper provides the owners with methods and suggestions in terms of showing how the factors affect PDM selection, and it may improve the project performance.

Selection Factors

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to identify key project delivery method selection factors to assist water industry decision-makers in selecting the most appropriate delivery method for their water treatment plant projects. Design/methodology/approach The selection factors were identified by compiling and validating key project delivery selection factors across various industries through an extensive literature review and two industry expert workshops. This resulted in the development of a web-based decision-support tool to facilitate project delivery method selection within the water industry. Findings The research effort led to the identification of 13 key project delivery method selection factors (seven primary factors and six secondary factors) for water treatment plant projects. These factors were utilized to develop EXPRSS-TP, a pioneering web-based project delivery method decision-support tool for the water industry. Practical implications A project delivery method selection process is typically an informal process that may range from days to weeks at a time. Based on this work, the assessment can now be completed in about one hour and provides decision-makers with the most favorable delivery method for their project. And with the new tool that encompasses the new knowledge, not only is the decision reached at an accelerated pace, EXPRSS-TP also documents the entire selection process, allowing for a written and retained record of this key decision and its procedure. Originality/value This paper contributes to the exisiting body of knowledge by identifying key project delivery selection factors across numerous industries, assessing and combining them, and finally incorporating them into one comprehensive process. EXPRSS-TP improves the traditional project delivery method selection process and provides evidence-based project delivery method selection recommendations.

Project Delivery Method

This paper focuses on providing a methodology to optimize the selection of multiple project delivery methods for multi-project transportation systems under uncertainty. In contrast to previous studies, this paper considers that owners sometimes divide transportation projects into sub-projects that are constrained by construction sequence. The owners’ objectives are to minimize the total project cost and duration for the whole multi-project undertaking by selecting the most appropriate project delivery method for each sub-project. The complexity of this problem is the motivation for the development of a multi-objective decision making model that can help owners evaluate and choose the appropriate project delivery method for each sub-project. The model considers three fundamental project delivery methods, i.e., design–bid–build, design–build, and construction manager-as-general contractor. The project cost and duration of each sub-project when selecting different project delivery methods are estimated by experts employed and/or retained by the owner, and regarded as fuzzy variables. Furthermore, a fuzzy simulation-based multiple objective particle swarm optimization algorithm is developed to find feasible Pareto solutions. Results and analysis of a numerical example are presented to highlight the performance of the model.
