Raouf, A M and Al-Ghamdi, S G (2019) Effectiveness of project delivery systems in executing green buildings. Journal of Construction Engineering and Management, 145(10): 03119005, ISSN 0733-9364
Abstract
This paper presents an overview of the most recent works on project delivery systems, with a particular interest in green buildings. The review focuses on current and prior studies that critiqued the intricacies, strengths, and weaknesses of project delivery systems as well as studies that addressed their performance, whether in green or nongreen built environments. Green buildings are vulnerable to cost overruns and delayed schedules as a result of the challenging complexities in their implementation. There is a greater need for building professionals to cooperate more cohesively in a nonsequential manner to achieve green building objectives, which necessitates exploring the different delivery systems that dictate how different project stakeholders are involved. The findings of this systematic review detected recent research trends in project delivery systems and synthesized a clearer elucidation of their intricacies and how they perform in a green building context. Most recently, integrated project delivery, design and build, and construction management at risk were the most frequent topics of study, with cost and time performance metrics dominating their quantitative comparisons. This review encourages future work to focus on quality and risk performance because these domains are more essential for green buildings owing to their organizational and technological complexities. This review's contribution will set the groundwork for academic researchers to explore new avenues in evaluating project delivery systems as well as in supporting decision makers in proper judgements on which delivery system to choose to achieve project success.

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
