ALTERNATE FORMS OF PROJECT DELIVERY
1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND
.1 In the building industry today, conventional methods of project delivery are being challenged by Clients, Consultants and Contractors alike, in an attempt to save time, reduce costs, avoid litigation, minimize conflict or to improve the overall building quality.
.2 All methods of project delivery can be defined to be in one of the four following primary categories: .1 Traditional Method (Design - Bid - Build)
.2 Construction Management
.3 Design - Build
.4 P3 (Public Private Partnership)
.3 Within each category there are optional variations, which may be preferred by the client or may be more appropriate depending on the type of project. Each method of construction delivery has advantages and limitations, which vary according to the type and conditions of the project.
.4 Across the Alberta Construction Industry, which includes Architects, Engineers, Contractors and Owners, there appears to be a lack of consistency of opinion regarding:
.1 The advantages and disadvantages of each method and
.2 The appropriate criteria to use when selecting a method for a particular project.
1.2 AFPD WORKSHOP
.1 In March 2003 a two-day workshop was held in Edmonton on Alternate Forms of Project
Delivery.
.2 The Joint Board of Practice of the Alberta Association of Architects (AAA) and the
Association of Professional Engineers, Geologists and Geophysicists of Alberta (APEGGA) sponsored the Workshop.
.3 The Workshop was attended by 53 participants representing:
.1 AAA,
.2 APEGGA,
.3 The Consulting Engineers of Alberta,
.4 The Alberta Construction Association,
.5 Alberta Roadbuilders and Heavy Construction Association,
.6 The Federal Government (PWGSC),
