RISK ASSESSMENT OF DESIGN-BID-BUILD AND DESIGN-BUILD BUILDING PROJECTS

Comparative analysis of design/build and design/bid/build project delivery systems in Lebanon

Design/bid/build and design/build are two principal project delivery systems used worldwide. The performance of each project may differ with the type of procurement system used. This study has two aims: firstly, to assess and compare the performance of design/bid/build and design/build projects in Lebanon; secondly, to compare the results with the performance of equivalent systems in the Far Ea...

Risk Analysis for Design-Build Construction Projects: A Simplified Approach

Construction Projects are being implemented under different contract systems in the Midwest. Negotiated design-build has been a popular contract system in recent years. It provides various advantages through entailing the contractor to be responsible for the whole project. However, design-build turns out to be risky system for both owners and contractors unless the risks are identified, quantif...

Incentive Structure in Public Design- Bid-build Tendering and Its Effects on Projects

Organizational theory argues that the more dynamic and uncertain the environment, the stricter are regulations and organizational structures. Germany’s public sector is restricted by tendering regulations resulting in a strict design-bid-build tendering. These legal regulations, as well as contractual penalties, create an incentive structure which often leads to uncooperative behavior of the pr...

The Role of Modelling and Simulation in Design-build Projects

The paper discusses the role of modelling and simulation techniques in large scale construction projects focusing on the opportunities and on the modelling challenges that are specific to this context of application. The paper argues that a methodology based on dynamic multi-process simulation models provides powerful decision support when assessing the performance implications of changes in th...
