Understanding the Sustainable Outcome of Project Delivery Methods in the Built Environment
Sažetak
In the design and construction industry, building owners want to identify, control, and mitigate project risks by deciding on how projects will be delivered on time and within budget. Project delivery method is a comprehensive process by which designers, constructors, and various consultants provide services for design and construction to deliver a complete project to the owner (Migliaccio et al., 2008). This research paper discusses the types and impacts of various project delivery methods that affect project outcome. The purpose is to understand how project stakeholders interact within the delivery method for the best outcome. To analyze the effectiveness of project delivery method, two case studies in the public higher education in California are reviewed. Both projects are delivered under the same project delivery method. The project outcomes varied significantly in terms of cost, schedule, scope compliance, quality, and stakeholders’ expectations. These outcome variances in the case studies demonstrate the necessity to understand the benefits of strategic alignment of process execution with the culture of integrative team to produce project sustainable outcome in the built environment. Applying an integrated project delivery method is not a substitute for a high performance team. The interdisciplinary interaction and balancing project constraints (cost, time, and scope) with the integrative nature of 3 core areas (Process, People, and System) will contribute to project success. A project sustainable outcome has positive benefits and long term impacts on the society, economy, and the environment.
