| dc.description.abstract | The mainstream of public construction in Taiwan is divided into two forms: Design-Bid-Build (DBB) and Design-Build (DB). After Regulations for the Implementation of Procurement on a Turnkey basis being enacted by Public Construction Commission, Executive Yuan, the number of DB projects has been increasing in the past ten years. However, there is no research for employer’s design management of DB projects.
The DB project is based on the employer’s requirements. But it can be regarded as normal that the plan cannot be fully implemented. Because there are many team members in works, the stakeholder’s interface is complex, and there are many uncertain factors in the natural environment, the variations of employer’s requirements are intuitively inevitable, which remains the concern of design management between employer and contractor, resulting in stagnant design work.
This research presents a study, which reviews the design management of DB project, and analyzes their impact on DB project performance. Based on those reviews, this research seeks the design management factors when the variation of the employer’s requirements occurs in the DB project.
In order to improve the design management of DB projects, this research recommended a process of the design management through these management factors, and extracted the key factors of the design management by AHP analysis. More fundamentally, the findings enhance understanding of how to achieve better project results between employer and contractor during the contract process. | en_US |
