Design-build contracts in the Nordic countries : can the use of design-build contracts in road construction be optimised?
Series: NVF-rapportPublication details: uo : Nordiskt vägforum, 2018Description: 45 sSubject(s): Online resources: Notes: Nordiskt vägforum. Ad Hoc-gruppen för totalentrepenad = Nordic Road Association. Ad hoc group for design-build contracts Abstract: The ad hoc group has held six meetings to discuss the optimisation of design-build contracts based on the terms of reference provided by NVF’s board of association. These discussions quickly revealed unity across the group in respect of what defines a design-build contracts, including what parameters and criteria that are instrumental in ensuring the success of individual design-build contracts. However, the group acknowledged that the individual countries apply and succeed differently when it comes to design-build contracts. The work in the group therefore switched focus towards providing recommendations on how to promote the development of design-build contracts in the best possible way. These recommendations are supplemented by various examples on measures taken in the individual countries. To optimise the use of design-build contracts, we have identified the following three success criteria: 1. Use of market dialogue 2. Structured employer execution models 3.
