Each of the project delivery methods I've discussed has advantages and disadvantages. It is the owner's job to select the best project delivery method relative to the requirements for the project. Some factors that influence an owner's project delivery selection include cost, schedule, quality, design, risk tolerance, and construction expertise. Every project is different, and there is not one single method suited to all situations or project types. It is very important to assess the goals for every new project being considered.

For example, if schedule is the most important criterion on a project, then selecting the design-build method would be the smartest choice because it is typically the fastest project delivery method. However, if high owner involvement in the design process is desired, then design-bid-build would be the better choice, because the owner hires the designer directly.

It is not the intention of this book to have you become an expert when it comes to project delivery, but I do want you to understand that just as scope definition has a significant impact on project risk, so does the project delivery method. The ability of the construction manager to discern the thoroughness of the scope definition and the suitability of the project delivery method goes a long way in mitigating risk from the start.
