Fundamentals of Construction Project Delivery Systems advocates for a transformative approach that places emphasis on integrated methodologies such as design-build and integrated project delivery. In addition, this book embraces new approaches in the industry: framework and program-based procurement.

Unlike conventional perspectives that view project delivery as a mere administrative process and a set of rules/features, this book challenges this notion. It proposes a shift in perspective, positioning the project delivery system as a design endeavor to define an organizational structure. Here, the owner is envisioned as actively adjusting the degree of organizational integration and interest alignment responding to the given internal and external context. Divided into four parts, this book begins by introducing project delivery systems before covering selection methods and contract types in Part 2. The third section goes into detail on four delivery project methods: Design-Bid-Build, CM-at-Risk, Design-Build, and Integrated Project Delivery and follows a similar chapter structure with a case study to demonstrate the method. The final part looks to the future covering new procurement trends, innovation, culture, and efficiency.

This book offers practical guidance on how owners can effectively leverage integrated approaches to enhance project outcomes. For educational purposes, this book offers guidance for undergraduate and graduate students in project delivery method courses within construction management programs.
