Ribeiro, F L (1998) Project delivery methods for large scale building projects: A case study. In: Hughes, W (ed.) Proceedings of 14th Annual ARCOM Conference, 9-11 September 1998, Reading, UK.
Abstract
This paper aims at contributing to clarify the major problems of project delivery of large scale building projects and inputting the lessons learned during the development and construction of the Colombo Centre in Lisbon. Traditional project delivery methods are ill suited for delivering a large size building project. Issues such as developing a project delivery strategy and contractual relationship, project structure, selecting project participants and improving constructability are crucial to deliver a large size project on time and under budget. Colombo project used a project deliver approach that combines the strengths of the construction management with design-build methods. This project delivery approach and the management tools described in this paper lead to the overall success of the Combo project, including meeting owner’s goals related to cost, schedule, and quality.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
