| dc.description.abstract | The project delivery method is the process by which a project is comprehensively designed, procured and constructed. Design-Build is a method which an owner deliver both design and construction responsibility for a single firm. An important issue associated with Design-Build delivery method is that time savings, cost certainty and owner is free from both design and construction risks. Also it maximizes the contractor‘s ability to use innovative designs, materials, and scheduling, managing and construction techniques. While the single point of contact can be easier, the checks and balances that exist between the architect and contractor are missing, which can create conflict between the owner and Design-Build firms. It can be difficult to assess whether the best price has been achieved. This research investigates the challenges of implementing Design-Build delivering process on Ethiopian Road Authority (ERA) projects. During conducting these research available documents relevant to the research were reviewed journals and articles, books, internet sources and archival document such as progress reports, completion reports, and contract documents. Indepth review of literature, desk study and case study are conducted and then an interview questions for each contracting parties are designed. The interviewees were asked face to face with interviewer. Then the data were analyzed for cross-checking the validity and conformity of the information obtained through the overall research work and literature review. This is followed by thorough discussions in order to draw a conclusion and to forward recommendations based on the findings of the study. The research concludes that ERA‘s implementation of DB projects delivery system requires improvements on criteria or requirements to select delivery method, preparation before tendering and on administration during construction. ERA should focus heavily on the qualifications of the design-builder and its key team members rather than price or best-value procurement; and rewards design-build teams that have a demonstrated history of successfully collaborating on design-build projects. | en_US |
