Abstract
The construction industry has currently used numerous methods to deliver their projects, including traditional design-bid-build (D-B-B), design-build (D-B), construction management at risk, integrated project delivery, partnering, alliancing, etc. Each project delivery method has its own strengths and weaknesses and there is no single delivery method appropriate for every project. For a specific project, decision makers need to examine the project goals and objectives and other relevant factors to determine how they align with the attributes of each available delivery method. Due to many documented advantages of D-B projects (e.g. shortened project duration, early certainty of project cost, and increased innovation), the D-B project delivery method continues to grow as a viable delivery method in the construction market
