Facility Project Delivery Selection Model

Abstract

There are many project delivery systems that owners from developing countries can use in executing their facilities' programs. The traditional engineer, procure and construct system (EPC); the design‐build (turnkey) system, and the construction management (CM) system are the three project delivery systems studied in this research. The process of selecting the appropriate project delivery system that responds to the project's nature and the owner's requirements is a very important step that may significantly affect the success or failure of the project. A project delivery selection model (PDSM), and a project delivery decision model (PDDM) are developed that incorporate the owner's requirements, the developing country's characteristics, and the project's nature. These models are very easy to use, yet they provide meaningful results that the owner can use in making his selection of the most suitable project delivery system.
