Identification and rank of delay factors in construction projects depending on the project delivery system . The implementation of construction projects depends on many unpredictable factors, which can cause delays in construction works. The article proposes classification of the validity of delaydepending on the project delivery system. Two of them were considered: the traditional system (Design – Bid – Build), where the design stage is separated from the construction stage and the design and build (Design & Build), which consists in entrusting design works and carrying out works to one contractor. The order of validity is based on results of research carried out among participants of the construction project.

Changes will always occur in project construction and can not be avoided. Many factors can cause changes in the construction project. Most dominant factors of cause of changes in project construction is design change. Design changes will have bad impact on the performance of construction projects, especially the performance of cost and performance time. Many factors can be the cause of design changes. Knowing the factors that cause a design change and knowing its behavior is very important to do. Knowing factor and behavioral of design changes that occur in project construction, and then can be managed properly, it will can be reduce the occurrence of design changes in projects construction. With the reduction of design changes will be able to improve the performance of construction projects, especially at cost and time performance. Construction projects carried out by using a project delivery system. Each project delivery system used will have different contractual relationships, rules, and responsibilities of each party involved. These differences will lead to in the occurrence differences in design change in project construction. Selection of appropriate project delivery system to complete a construction project is needed. The purpose of this paper is to provide a conceptual framework that can be used to determine the behavior, and the effect of design changes on project construction at some project delivery system used.

The Building Information Modelling (BIM) implementation is to create a centralised knowledge sharing resource that contains all the necessary design and operational information about the project. BIM is a collaborative approach and integrated project delivery to design and delivery embraced by various construction teams in the construction projects. In the context of the most suitable project delivery to be used, with regards to the use of BIM, the Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) approach is highlighted as the best method which correlates building procurement of the design-to-construction business process through literature review analysis. IPD is developed as project delivery system that integrates people in effective collaborative approach between the key players in the project. IPD is going to be particularly beneficial for BIM because the contracts relation between the contractor, designers, consultants, constructors, sub-contractors and suppliers were binded and expressly determined at earlier stage. This relationship between these two subjects will helped the project team to achieve the project goals in terms of timely schedule, life cycle costs, quality and sustainability in construction project. Therefore, this study investigates on the propensity of the best methodology of project delivery system which can correlate with procurement adoption for projects adapt BIM concept. This is a descriptive study and the method used is based on review of the literature in relation to BIM and IPD. The analysis revealed that propensity of adopting IPD project delivery and the adoption of BIM are based on these factors: improve the communication, closer collaboration; liability and legal relationships are specifically determined, the best quality outcome; and lastly with reductions in design and construction period, it provides a cost effectiveness and a saving in overall construction period.

In early 1990s, the American driving public insisted that planned highway and bridge projects be completed quicker than was possible using the Design-Bid-Build (DBB) construction project delivery system, which had dominated the industry since 1930s. This led state Departments of Transportation (DOTs) to explore fast-track methods of construction. In late 1980s, some DOTs had experimented with Design-Build (D-B) delivery system. Forty-two state DOTs and numerous county and municipal transportation agencies now use the system and it remains the most popular integrated construction project delivery system in US transportation construction despite Federal Highway Administration efforts through the Every Day Counts initiatives to popularize newer methods such as Construction-Manager-as-General-Contractor and Alternative Technical Concepts. Its popularity is due to the speed with which projects move from conception through to completion and the ability through early contractor participation to implement innovative ideas that improve quality and further enhance the speed of the project. With all this speed, however, the design process has struggled to stay ahead of construction, especially when the Design-Builder is faced with new responsibilities such as Right-of-Way acquisition, the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process, the environmental permitting process, utility re-location, etc. This paper recounts the research performed by a team led by the University of Florida to produce a guidebook to help both design-builder and owner with the design management process for transportation infrastructure construction.

Purpose – The construction project is implemented under uncertainty environment, and the product of construction is very complex. Selecting a project delivery system/approach is a critical task, which determines the project schedule, quality and investment objectives. The purpose of this paper is to propose a decision-making model for the selection of project delivery system which is based on information entropy and unascertained measure model. Design/methodology/approach – A decision-making model based on information entropy and unascertained set is employed to select project delivery approach. In order to overcome the subjective evaluations from the experts, the theory of “entropy weight” is applied to modify the experts’ subjective weight. The multi-attribute unascertained measure decision making is fitted to deal with the uncertainty information for selection of project delivery system. Findings – The proposed methodology is more comprehensive compared with the previous work, especially in the uncertainty environment. Research limitations/implications – There is some further work that should be considered, such as how to deal with the imprecise and subjective information given by the experts; how to determine the weight of the experts’; finding a set of importance factors influencing the selection of a delivery system is a complex task to further research. Practical implications – The proposed method can help the construction owner to select a most fitted project delivery system of a construction project. Originality/value – A new approach to select project delivery approach is proposed based on information entropy and unascertained set.

Choosing an appropriate project delivery system (PDS) directly affects the achievement of performance goals, and at the same time it is of great significance for sustainable construction project management (SCPM). This paper took the PDS of construction engineering as the research object, took the Design-Build (DB) and the Design-Bid-Build (DBB) as examples, and established the indicator system for determinants of the PDS decision. Based on Multi-Agent Systems (MAS), a decision-making simulation model of the PDS decision was constructed, and this paper analyzed the influence of the project attribute characteristics, policy and market environment, owner ability and preference, and contractor technology and capabilities of the PDS decision. While analyzing the circumstances under which the owners tend to choose DB or DBB, the following conclusions were reached: (1) the contractor technology and capabilities increase faster in DB than in DBB. (2) The PDS with policy and market environment preferences has an advantage in the PDS decision, and the owners are more willing to choose the PDS which was selected previously. (3) The competition mechanism in the construction market will eliminate contractors whose growth rate is too low to meet the needs of projects in the market. The research provides theoretical references for the scientific decision-making of construction enterprises.

It is crucial for the owner of a construction project to select an appropriate project delivery system (PDS) during early decision-making stages of the project. Due to project uncertainty or a lack of project information, the parameters of a PDS are difficult to measure and quantify. Therefore, there are still major challenges to the objective selection of PDSs. This research proposes a novel systematic decision-making model to select the appropriate PDS by using the combination of case-based reasoning (CBR) and robust nonparametric production frontier method. The Bayesian-Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) supported Z-order-m method is interpreted into the case retrieves process of traditional CBR method in order to eliminate the deteriorative internal and external influence for PDS selection. The case study was based on questionnaire survey conducted in China and used to test the validation of the proposed model. The findings reveal that the systematic decision-making model can overcome some problems of the traditional methods and improve the accuracy of PDS selection. As a result, this research has both theoretical and practical implications for the construction industry.
