Abstract
Design-Bid-Build and Design-Build are two principal project delivery systems used
worldwide. The performance of each project may differ with the type of procurement
system used. This study has two aims: firstly, to assess and compare the performance
of Design-Bid-Build and Design-Build projects in Lebanon; secondly, to compare the
results with the performance of equivalent systems in the Far East and the US, in order
to identify the similarities between Lebanon and these countries. Seven performance
indicators were identified in terms of cost, time, quality, communication, risk and safety
to evaluate the performance of 102 residential buildings and tower projects completed
in Lebanon. Means and medians of these performance indicators were compared to
identify which delivery system performs better regarding each indicator. The results
presented in this study show some agreements between different performance
indicators when applied to principal project delivery systems in the selected countries.
