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.

This paper discusses the design-build project delivery method which is becoming an increasingly viable alternative to traditional project delivery method in the public sector. This interest has led to dialogue among public sector agencies to establish and formalise understanding of the design-build process and its implementation. The process consists of six stages namely Project Definition, Request for Qualification, Request for Proposal, Proposal Submission and Evaluation, Contract Award, and Document/Construction. Therefore, this finding of Design-Build (DB) procurement process is on the improvement and understanding on an owner and contractor in practice and implementation in Malaysia.  Keywords: design/build, design/bid/build, advantage and disadvantage, procurement process

Project Delivery Method

Even though the design-build (DB) delivery method has become a popular construction project delivery method in many countries, it is relatively rare in Taiwan. This study investigates the problems and difficulties that Taiwanese owners may encounter during using DB delivery methods. Twenty six problems over the four key stages of the DB process were first identified based on previous studies and expert interviews. A questionnaire survey was then conducted to determine the most pressing problems for Taiwan. The results of statistical analyses show that Taiwanese owners face key problems at all stages of the DB delivery method, especially during the tender preparation and valuation stages. These findings can be used by Taiwanese owners for successfully executing DB projects.

The decisions on the project delivery method when conducting a construction project are an important part of the process and can heavily influence the success or failure of the project. Many factors have to be considered, however, in determining the project delivery method, and there are no definite criteria. This ambiguity can cause much difficulty. As such, this paper proposes a system based on case-based reasoning (CBR) that supports the decision-making for project delivery method selection considering the future construction project performance. The research was conducted with focus on the road construction case dataset. Based on this, the proposed decision-making support system was devised by applying decision tree (DT) analysis, the effectiveness of selecting a project delivery method for the project performance index (ESDPI), and CBR. This system can consider not only the project delivery method but also the later construction project performance, and can thus effectively support the owner’s decision-making.

The choice of a suitable delivery method plays a considerable role in the performance of a construction project. Previous research has attempted the development of a systematic approach to project delivery method selection focusing on performance information. However, such attempts did not properly address public agencies and legislative impediments are almost entirely neglected as suggested variables in such models. This paper addresses these limitations by presenting a quantitative analysis to test whether federal and state legal limitations do influence project performance. Project characteristics from the U.S. General Services Administration Capital Construction Project database are presented. The database is analyzed using cross-tabulation to determine potential correlations among the variables, and specifically their relation to project delivery method choice and performance information. Contributions from this research are reflected in presenting a methodology for choosing alternative delivery methods while considering project characteristics and specifically the legislative impediments associated with a construction project and their influence on 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.
