Selection of the most appropriate procurement method for a proposed project is challenging because there are many factors to be evaluated in deciding. This study focuses on the impact of procurement method on construction time waste, and it was conducted to find how the time wastage varies according to the selected procurement route. Such knowledge is important in making better decisions when selecting a procurement method. Accordingly, the research aim was set to find the significant differences of time waste between traditional and design and build procurement methods. this research was conducted from a quantitative approach, deductive theory data collected through an online survey, and for data analysis using descriptive statistics. Twenty-two (22) number of time waste factors were identified through literature review. survey respondents weighted the significance of each factor between traditional and design and build procurement methods. Ten (10) factors caused significantly higher time waste in traditional method and none of the factors caused higher time waste in design and build method. Accordingly, the study concludes that time waste in traditional procurement is generally higher in traditional procurement method compared to design and build procurement method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
