Product Review

This third edition explores traditional and alternative project delivery systems including Design-Bid-Build, Design-Build, Construction Management At-Risk, and Integrated Project Delivery. The book highlights the "typical" and "defining" characteristics of each delivery system. Topics such as management approaches, procurement options, basis of reimbursement, roles and responsibilities, Building Information Modeling, lean construction, and sustainability are also discussed relative to these delivery systems. An updated glossary and appendix, as well as case studies and self-tests for each chapter, create the framework for discussion and promote a better understanding of construction project delivery.
