Sažetak
A considerable part of construction projects in developed countries are executed by method of procurement known as "design and build" which is the main member of the integrated procurement systems. These methods of procurement appeared as an alternative to traditional, separated methods where the client endeavours to ensure the single-point responsibility for the design and construction of the project. The direct contact between the two contracting parties, enabling misunderstandings to be minimised and procedures to be simplified, is considered as one of the main advantages of "design and build". Research carried out at the end of the year 2007 indicates a low development of the Croatian construction industry regarding the implementation of modern, alternative procurement methods, emphasising the need for improvement of this area of project management. The paper describes the basic characteristics, the project phases and the possibility of implementing buildability/constructability concept in projects being conducted by "design and build" procurement method. The possibility of application of "design and build" method in the Croatian construction industry is explored.
