Tiivistelmä
The current delivery methods employed in construction projects offer a limited framework based on traditional methods, often times failing in terms of cost, time and quality. Newer, more effective methods have been proved to deliver better results for construction projects in Finnish construction. Therefore, the objective of this study is to propose an enhanced integrated project delivery based on the design-build delivery methods used in the Finnish construction. This proposal collects and combines the strengths of the design-build and newer delivery methods.
This study utilizes the case study approach and use qualitative methods to analyze the current state of the traditional design-build method, resulting in the identification of a series of strengths and weaknesses. The current state of the design-build method is analyzed through interviews and reports from construction industry experts. The project delivery is divided in three basic components and new methods that can benefit each of these three components presented in the conceptual framework of this study. Based on this analysis, an initial proposal for an enhanced integrated design-build method is presented.
The outcome of this study is a proposal for an integrated design-build project delivery method based on the methods used in the Finnish construction industry to learn from the modern construction practices.
