Public and private sector owners have a wide variety of options when it comes to delivering their capital projects. Selecting the right delivery method for a particular project requires the owner to not only have a deep understanding of the attributes of available delivery methods but also the procurement and contracting approaches that best work with those methods.

The Engineer's Project Delivery Method Primer: Uniform Definitions and Case Studies brings clarity to the definitions and sometimes complex and conflicting terminology associated with project delivery methods. It does this by providing a comprehensive explanation of each delivery method, including

• The "Big Three" delivery methods - Design-Bid-Build, Construction Manager-at-Risk, and Design-Build;
• Variations on the "Big Three," such as multiple prime contracting, EPC, and EPCm;
• Public-Private Partnerships;
• Integrated Project Delivery; and
• Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contracts.

In addition to providing a detailed discussion of the attributes of and case studies for each delivery method, readers will learn about

• Procurement and contracting approaches commonly used for the method,
• Roles, responsibilities, and contractual relationships among the participants involved in the method, and
• Legal principles affecting the method.

This book gives owners and practitioners what they need to understand capital project delivery, procurement, and contracting.
