Abstract: Various procurement routes are considered to improve the quality and performance of the building design, especially in the public sector, because of changes in the contemporary urban environment and diversified and advanced client needs. Thereby earlier contractor involvement has been introduced in the procurement routes to incorporate the contractor's expertise and techniques into the architects' design work. With several case studies, this paper investigates the impact of earlier contractor involvement in British design and build procurement routes in order to explore the potential to improve collaborative design methods between architects and contractors PDF (Japanese) is available on J-STAGE website: https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/aija/88/810/88_2380/_article/-char/ja/?fbclid=IwAR2wvWOtPpr1kFlODDcm9r_Q-gg7c-evZHGmx0u-rQEWCGHRvcA6ISEQsZk |
