Abstract The design and budget development process of public projects is done in a fragmented way by the stakeholders. This situation contributes to several inadequacies in construction projects, related mainly to costs and deadlines. The aim of this paper is to propose improvements to the process, based on Target Value Design (TVD). The investigation was done through qualitative research, and the research strategy used was a multiple case study. It involved four public institutions, comprising project the development, budget and inspection sectors. The study included the following participants: clients, managers, designers (architect and engineer), budgeters, and works inspectors. Seventeen participants were interviewed during the study. This paper presents a design development process model for public projects (DDP).
