  • Abstract:
    This paper aims to help clarify the major problems of project delivery methods for large scale building projects and to contribute to the body of knowledge on construction management with the lessons learned during the development and construction of the Colombo Centre project in Lisbon. Traditional project delivery methods are ill suited for delivering a large size building project. Issues such as developing a project delivery strategy and contractual relationship, project structure, selecting project participants and improving constructaibility are crucial to deliver a large size project on time and under budget. Colombo project used a project deliver approach that combines the strengths of the construction management with design-build methods. This project delivery approach and the management tools described in this paper lead to the overall success of the Combo project, including meeting owner's goals related to cost, schedule, and quality.
