Читать книгу Construction Management JumpStart - Barbara J. Jackson - Страница 118

Anyone who has ever taken on a construction project is well aware that most projects display some cost overruns, time delays, and conflicts among the various parties. Of course, the object of the game is to mitigate these risks as much as possible. One of the ways you can accomplish this is by choosing the right project delivery method to start with.

It is the owner who ultimately decides which project delivery method to use. Unfortunately, many owners are illequipped to make a thorough assessment of the many factors that can impact project success relative to the owner's specific criteria. Too often they choose a traditional methodology simply because they are familiar with it. Ultimately, they end up accepting less than stellar results, not realizing that their decision for project delivery had set the stage for inefficiencies and trouble before the project even started. However, I am getting ahead of myself. I will provide some insight into project delivery selection criteria later in this chapter. For now, let's just focus on what project delivery is and how construction management plays into it.
