Risk and Opportunities of Taking Different Procurement Routes in Construction Projects in Croatia

Project Procurement Management is a key success factor for managing complex and challenging process of delivering construction projects. One of the important areas of Project Procurement Management is determining which project delivery method is best suited for a specific project. The selection of project delivery method may affect the overall time, cost, quality and success of the project. It is influenced by the complexity, importance and size of the project, owner’s management skills or contractor’s management capability, financial resources, time constraint, quality, resources, project roles and responsibilities, and by the impact of risk and uncertainty. Traditional approach is today’s name for Design–Bid–Build (DBB) project delivery method. The DBB method (or traditional approach) implies the sequence of separate activities (design, bid, build) and selection of the contractor only after the design phase has been completed. In Croatia, the traditional approach has been so far the most widely used project delivery method, mainly due to legal constraints. Therefore, this paper delineates project roles and responsibilities, as well as risks and opportunities, comparing the DBB method with the integrated project delivery and turnkey approaches, such as Construction Manager-At-Risk (CMR) and Design-Build (DB) methods. The aim of this paper is to highlight the potential ambiguities in Croatian legislation for the greater application of contemporary project delivery methods.
