- Abstract
- Design-Build: it is the nomenclature for a project delivery system that runs the gamut, from organizations employing it regularly, to those who tolerate it occasionally, to organizations restricted by statute from embracing it, to many who have never confronted it. Comparing its success to two other widely used delivery methods, design-bid-build and and construction management (CM) at risk, was the charter of this research team. The results - proven by statistical analysis on over 350 projects - are "rock solid."
