The use of project-delivery methods is rapidly changing the construction industry. The construction process is a complex undertaking that involves many different activities and participants in its planning and execution. 

These tasks, and the roles and responsibilities of the owners, designers, construction managers, contractors, subcontractors, vendors, and suppliers can be organized in numerous ways to deliver a construction project from concept to completion. Owners want projects delivered faster, at a lower cost, with higher quality, and with greater innovation; contractors expect to make profits with harvesting good reputation; designers concern about how to provide optimum design option and good service; suppliers hope to reach satisfactory transactions. 

The choice of project-delivery methods involving these project stakeholders has major impact on the success of a project. This course will discuss different types of project delivery, elements to consider in determining choice of delivery systems, and managing the project delivery processes. 

This course encourages students to discuss and exchange views on the strategies and techniques used in managing projects, in order to enhance the abilities of stakeholders to obtain scarce/valued resources and successfully integrate/manage them within their business chain.
