Contracting for Engineering and Construction Projects

TL;DR: I was recently invited to speak at two seminars which sought to challenge the prevailing views on what the authors know about the management of projects, where more interpretive views of the subject were appropriate.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a model for assessing risk and opportunity in construction projects for the purpose of contingency allocation in a risk and reward sense, based on an ethnographic investigation into how contractors price risks.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conducted a literature review on turnkey and traditional contracts in Malawi and found that the majority of respondents preferred turnkey contracts to traditional contracts as being effective in the implementation of mega construction projects (MCPs).

TL;DR: In this article, a pre-qualification multicriteria decision-making model using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) can overcome the difficulties of the prequalification process, such as complexity, subjectivity and lack of group consensus concerning the evaluation of entities potentially involved in the construction process.
