ABSTRACT
There is a variety of PDSs (project delivery systems)
in today’s construction industry. This leads to confusion when it comes to
selecting the most suitable PDS for a specific project. The wrong selection
decision might lead eventually to reduced profit margins or perhaps financial
losses to PSFs (professional service firms). This research proposes a
conceptual framework that helps PSFs in the selection of one or more suitable
PDSs for their construction operations. The framework uses SWOT (strengths,
weaknesses, opportunities and threats) analysis as a
tool for assessing each PDS considered in this research. The PDSs included in
the framework are design-bid-build, design-build, construction management
agency, public-private
partnerships and integrated project delivery. The main aim of this research
framework is to enhance decision-making efficiency in PDS selection for PSF
operations.
