The term project delivery refers to the process by which a project moves from concept through construction and occupancy. While there are numerous variations, essentially there are four project delivery methods: Design - Lump Sum Bid based on complete documents - Construction (also known as traditional hard bid); Construction Management at Risk; Construction Management Agency; and Design/Build. Each has its advocates, and, in reality, each has its place.
This panel will explore why so many alternatives have emerged, why an owner may elect to select one option versus others for particular projects, what the owner's expectations are for the outcome, and what the owner's expectations are for the various members of the design and construction team, including his/her own staff, as well as service providers.
