Sažetak
The constructability concept development was triggered by the attempts to integrate the contractor knowledge and experience at the design stage. The very selection of the appropriate procurement model during the contract stage represents one of the concept implementation models. This paper deals with the stage and project participant integration, those being the essential constructability concept implementation elements. For this purpose a research including five Croatian building construction projects was conducted. The construction projects were analyzed and described by applying the ″multiple case study″ scientific method. This paper presents the processing algorithm and results for the two selected cases, the first of which with the traditional procurement model and the second with the alternative management oriented procurement model, as well as the results of the case study conducted on all five projects. The results lead to specific conclusions and recommendations for applying the models at the markets of less developed countries. The changes in construction project traditional procurement model domination can not be made radically due to culture and financial reasons. They require a change of awareness and investment of significant resources. Due to the stated reasons an improved traditional procurement model introduction is proposed. The measurement introduction must be adapted to every single project in order to improve the construction project procurement procedures, one must make an influence on the wider community where the project takes place and influence the changes primarily within the legislative and the institutional frames.
