“…Furthermore, a need for more integration in delivering construction projects is critical to cover the limitations of the traditional DBB method, which leads to the development of various cultures that results in severe inefficiency and high costs of inadequate interoperability as well as high levels of data and team fragmentation that even CM and CMR methods were not able to overcome [28][29][30][31]. Indeed, these traditional delivery approaches have historically resulted in a profound number of claims, high risks, delayed schedules and over-priced projects [32]. It is about time that integration is taken to another level in these delivery methods where project members are engaged in a much faster way that allows for real-time monitoring through intuitive interfaces with the help of the technological innovations that transformed the construction industry [33][34][35][36].…”

Selecting the appropriate project delivery method (PDM) is a very significant managerial decision that impacts the success of construction projects. This paper provides a critical review of related literature on the evolution of project delivery methods, selection methods and selection criteria over the years and their suitability in the construction industry of today’s world. The literature review analysis has concluded that project delivery methods evolve at a slower rate compared to the evolution of the construction industry. The paper also suggests features of an evolved project delivery method that is digitally integrated, people-centered, and sustainability-focused. Moreover, the paper highlights the latest selection criteria such as risk, health and wellbeing, sustainability goals and technological innovations. Furthermore, the paper concluded that advanced artificial intelligence techniques are yet to be exploited to develop a smart decision support model that will assist clients in selecting the most appropriate delivery method for successful project completion. Additionally, the paper presents a framework that illustrates the relationship between the different PDM variables needed to harmonize with the construction industry. Last, but not least, the paper fills a gap in the literature as it covers a different perspective in the field of project delivery methods. The paper also provides recommendations and future research ideas.

“…Heidemann and Gehbauer (2010) discuss multi-party agreements, integrated form of agreement in the USA and alliancing agreement in Australia, and suggest the adjustment of the existing DBB procedure in Germany. However, sometimes it is not possible to use other forms of procurement than DBB: there are legal, cultural, behavioural, technological and financial barriers against implementing integrated project delivery (Dargham et al 2019).…”

The construction industry is famous for its poor performance. Despite multi-party contractual agreements acknowledged by the lean construction community as enablers of better communication and performance, design-bid-build (DBB) still dominates the construction industry in Germany, UK and other countries. This study describes designbid-build procurement and explores its negative effects on construction projects, environment and project participants through a review of existing literature. Understanding the influence of design-bid-build on construction environment should give practitioners an insight into the potential of using the Last Planner ® System and other lean tools. The direct and indirect effects of DBB on the construction environment are presented in the form of a tree diagram. It can be hypothesized that if the internal dispositions of project participants can be determined and the behavior of project participants can be positively influenced, for example, by lean management tools such as the Last Planner ® System 5 , the situational context in which project participants operate can be influenced too, meaning a shift to more positive, collaborative environment.

“…Sundquist et al (2018)'s study also points out research gaps regarding the actual features of strategic partnering. From a Lean perspective, IPD has, in recent years, been given more attention than strategic partnering (see for example, Dargham et al, 2019 andSimonsen et al, 2019). Only one paper has been found from the literature study with strategic partnering between contractors and designers being the focal point (Lu and Yan (2007)).…”

In recent years, the concept of strategic partnering has gained attention in the Norwegian construction industry. As a project delivery method, strategic partnering shares similarities with the Lean project delivery perspective as they both seek to achieve more collaborative projects. The paper has structured strategic partnering into three essential Lean Construction (LC) elements: contract, organization, and collaboration. Consequently, this paper contributes to knowledge about strategic partnering between contractors and designers by answering the two research questions: 1) How is the current practice associated with strategic partnering, and 2) What are the experiences with strategic partnering between contractors and designers.An exploratory case study was conducted to examine how strategic partnering can be improved in future projects. A combination of literature review and semi-structured interviews were used for data collection.The findings reveal an improvement potential when implementing strategic partnering in the construction industry. The paper concludes that more attention should be paid to contract elements and the project organization at the company levels to improve strategic partnering. However, at the individual level, good effects have been identified. Findings also showed that external factors like political decisions can lead to postponements and thus changes in personnel in the organization.
