ABSTRACT
This category of procurement incorporates all of those methods of managing the design and construction of a project where these two basic elements are integrated and become the responsibility of one organisation, usually a building contractor. Other elements, such as funding of the scheme and operation and maintenance when the building is in use, may also be incorporated within the system in the case of PFI and PPP projects. The design and build procurement system is the main member of this category, with
variants of that method making up the remainder of the group. The principal variants that are dealt with here are novated design and build, the package deal, develop and construct, design and manage and turnkey methods of procurement.
