A Study of the Success of Design and Build Procurement Method for Building
Projects in Sri Lanka
Design and build procurement method is a delivery method in which the design and build
contractor is contractually responsible for the design and build. According to Konchar and
Sanvido (1998), the design and build procurement system has been shown as a method of
efficient delivery and has gained its popularity abroad. However it does not receive the same
popularity in the Sri Lankan construct industry because the traditional procurement method
has been widely adopted in the Sri Lankan construction industry. This study first conducts a
literature review to identify the factor that affects the selection of the design and build
procurement method in general and then it gives an overview of the Sri Lankan Construction
industry.
In this research, the success of adopting Design and Build procurement method is
investigated through analyzing the feedback of project stakeholders in the Construction
industry in Sri Lanka by questionnaires. In this study, the surveyed parties include
professional from consulting firms and construction firms (contractors) who has handle both
private and public sector projects in Sri Lanka. Furthermore, the popularity of the
procurement method adopted in Sri Lanka is discussed the gain a better understanding of
trends of the construction industry. The characteristics of different Design and Build
procurement methods are also introduced and discussed.
Apart from the above objective, this research also provides information for the stakeholders
in the construction industry for reviewing and selecting an appropriate procurement method
for the up-coming projects respectively.
