Design-Build and Construction Manager–General Contractor Methods

In the past two decades, new methods have emerged to speed up the transportation construction process. An NCHRP report offers insights into the design management process under two of these fast-track approaches—construction manager–general contractor and design-build. This article explains the construction manager-general contractor delivery system and includes a case study from the Utah Department of Transportation. It also outlines design management approaches in the design-build delivery system and includes a case study from the North Carolina Department of Transportation.
