Callaghan, Stephen (2023) Model and strategies for early contractor involvement in large linear engineering construction projects. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology, Australia.
Abstract
The thesis proposes an early contractor involvement (ECI) model and guidelines for the procurement and development of large linear engineering construction projects. The model and guidelines are designed to assist developers of these high risk and technically challenging projects in overcoming the shortfalls encountered by using traditional procurement methods for such projects.

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
