1. KFUPM, Department of Construction Engineering and Management Summary of AN IMPLEMENTATION MODEL FOR DESIGN-BUILD (D-B) PROJECT DELIVERY SYSTEM BY : MOHAMMAD RIAD JAWEED January 2004 Summarized by : KHALID L. ALSHAIR

2. INTRODUCTION The Design-Build project delivery method has been enjoying increasing acceptance in recent time. In a questionnaire survey carried out in Saudi Arabia, public clients selected Design-Built as the most appropriate procurement for their objects. The Design-Build project delivery method has been enjoying increasing acceptance in recent time. In a questionnaire survey carried out in Saudi Arabia, public clients selected Design-Built as the most appropriate procurement for their objects. The basic feature of the design build method is that it entails single responsibility for the entire object. Actually, it is an expansion of the Single-Contract System to include design as well as construction.

3. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM The engineering and construction industry faces formidable challenges. It suffers from low profit margin, persistent project overruns in schedule and budget, and it is plagued with claim and counter claims. Construction industry performance can be improved by use of an appropriate project delivery method.

4. SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY The study aims at developing a model for Design-Build project delivery method implementation. It includes all the phases for implementing Design-Built from project identification to contract administration.

5. OBJECTIVES The objectives of the research are : The objectives of the research are : 1- To get a greater understanding of the Design- Build method. 2- To identify positive factors favoring the use of the Design-Build method. 3- To develop a Design-Build model.

6. LITERATURE ANALYSIS 1- Project Delivery Method 1- Project Delivery Method The term “ project delivery method “ means the approach used to organize the project so as to manage the entire designing and building process. The term “ project delivery method “ means the approach used to organize the project so as to manage the entire designing and building process. Following requirements fulfill the complete definition of project delivery : Following requirements fulfill the complete definition of project delivery : * For a project, its scope and requirements should be clearly stated. * For a project, its scope and requirements should be clearly stated. * Method of procedure, responsibilities and obligations should be * Method of procedure, responsibilities and obligations should be established. established. * Forming and documentation of agreement. * Forming and documentation of agreement. * Actual design and construction. * Actual design and construction. * Handing over the project to the owner. * Handing over the project to the owner.

7. 2- Evolution of Project Delivery Method Obtaining a project within a predefined time, cost and quality is the ultimate goal of the clients. Also the need for more need of financial planning and fewer amount of contracts has increased the possibility of looking out for new construction procurement methods. These factors together with the need for a greater degree of financial planning and a lesser amount of contract administration have brought pressure to explore new option for construction procurement.
