Introduction

Course overview

The choice of procurement strategy and delivery model is one of the most important decisions a client makes on a construction project. It determines how design responsibility, cost certainty, risk, programme and collaboration are balanced, and a poor choice can lead to disputes, cost overruns and delays that no amount of good management can fully correct.

This Construction Procurement Strategies and Delivery Models training course examines the main approaches available and how to select the right one. Participants compare traditional, design and build, management contracting, construction management, early contractor involvement, alliancing, framework and public-private partnership models, and learn how to analyse project objectives, risk appetite and market conditions to choose and implement a strategy.

The course also covers tender processes, contract selection, payment mechanisms and collaborative working arrangements.
