“…It's important to provide social learning experience, especially very early; teaching within the pedagogy of DB, particularly when attempting community and/or civic engagement, requires considerable skill and fluency with aspects of interpersonal communication, cultural awareness and sensitivity, reflective learning, and collaborative teaching [33]. With a prosperous attitude towards the use of DB, research further enhances the contractor's competitiveness, and a body of knowledge in DB can also be developed for achieving best practices in construction [34].…”

Project delivery quality (PDQ) is a potential target of the construction team, which is working on enhancing this quality thru project stages: design and construction. A very important side of this work is study and research to investigate the critical factors affecting PDQ. Some former studies uncovered that the delivery methods: Design-Build (DB) and Design-Bid-Build (DBB) notably affecting PDQ. A study appraised the mentioned methods among several features, such as: time, communication, drawings …etc. This paper assumes that there are other critical features to be studied as it's believed to complete the appraisal among DB and DBB. The aim of this paper is to get sound results for deciding which of them will contribute in enhancing PDQ. The paper will run unstructured conversations with design and construction players: owners, consultants (design/supervision), and contractors. They were requested to provide their feedbacks regarding (6) chosen features among DB & DBB. Also, they were asked to justify their scores adding more details. Collected data was organized, tabulated, and analyzed, then discussed, and concluded.Being DB in nature, the involvement of the consultants was easier, as they were contracted to the main contractor (the direct participant in the project), and the contractor also has a closer and earlier involvement of the main contractor in the design process with more consideration of build-ability issues [1].DB is not a new method of project delivery; its roots go back to antiquity. P Thomas mentioned that the pyramids were built though DB, as well as Saint Paul's Cathedral in London, but it fell into disuse in the United States about the time of the Civil War, and gave way to the "new" design-bid-build process through the latter years of the 20th century [2]. Also, he said that the DB delivery of buildings makes it less expensive and more certain that owners will get high performance and sustainability from their new buildings and renovation projects.Although the importance of DB operational differences is widely accepted, there is as yet little agreement of their classification. Different rules and terminologies are used and some of the classifications are contradictory [3]. For example, Janssens D.E.L (1991) and Akintoye A. (1994) consider Design and Manage to be a DB variant [4, 5], while Masterman, J.W.E. (1992), in contrast, refer to Design and Manage as a management-oriented procurement system [6]. Quatman G.W. (2001) and Gransberg D.D et al. (2006) include Bridging as a DB variant [7, 8]. In Beard et al. (2001) classification framework however, Bridging is not regarded as DB, because it is more akin to traditional Design Bid Build and the client/owner is again in the position of warranting the completeness of the design to the bridging contractor [9].Also, it's worth mentioning that The Direct DB process is qualifications-based, which involves the selection of a contractor through negotiation, and the selection of the team is primarily based on qualitative criteria such as past performa...

“…There were, however, some creative solutions presented, including iterative Live Projects, where successive 'courses' built on gains made by the previous group, yet within the context of a single project (Johnson, 2018); or a simultaneous, multidisciplinary effort, where different groups tackled different aspects of the project at the same time (May et al, 2019) Other common administrative challenges include the management of risk relating todoing activities outside the normal studio environment. These typically include extensive risk management assessment (particularly for programmes relating to construction), liability, insurance, medical issues and other similar considerations (Tural, 2017;Gaber, 2014;Middlebrook & Maines, 2016;Corroto, 2014;Fowles, 1984;Clayton et al, 2002;Schwartz et al, 2014;Hughes, 2014). These can place a substantial administrative burden on the educator, especially in the risk-aversehigher education environment (Canizaro, 2012;Harriss & Froud, 2015).…”

“…These can place a substantial administrative burden on the educator, especially in the risk-aversehigher education environment (Canizaro, 2012;Harriss & Froud, 2015). Furthermore, liability for the project's output (be that built or propositional) is a significant issue for higher education institutions whose raison d'etre is education, not necessarily commercial production (Schwartz et al, 2014;Corroto, 2014) Finally, cost issues, including difficulty obtaining and maintaining funding together with the resourceintensive nature of Live Projects, were a barrier cited by 16% of papers (May et al, 2019;Sara & Jones, 2018;Amer, 2015;Black & Doorn, 2015;Clayton et al, 2002;Akerman, 2017b;Ascher-Barnstone, 2002;Cranz, 2018;Fisher & Lofthouse, 2014;Middlebrook & Maines, 2016;Schwartz et al, 2014;Tural, 2017;Warren, 2014;Malmqvist et al, 2004). Once more, this is a significant challenge in an environment of tightening higher education spending and intensive commercialisation and competition.…”

“…There is also a noticeable change in the role and responsibility of educators. Several papers noted that the teacher-intensive nature of Live Projects burdened educators with considerable responsibilities (Love, 2018;Malmqvist et al, 2004;Schwartz et al, 2014).…”

(Schwartz et al, 2014, p.89) Schwartz et al (2014) and Maya et al(2017) also noted that the relationship between the teacher and students was not the same as that between employer and employee, making some of the professional practice aspirations of the Live Project challenging to navigate. Furthermore, the issue of leadership, especially balancing roles as educator, researcher, institutional employee/representative, architectural professional and project leader, is a facet of Live Projects that could greatly benefit from further research.…”

PurposeThis paper aims to investigate trends and themes within the literature pertaining to live projects, and in so doing, highlight possible areas of future exploration and research.Design/methodology/approachThis paper utilises a Systematic Quantitative Literature Review (SQLR) method, wherein keywords and phrases are entered into selected citation databases generating a reproducible list of literature. This is then refined using a specified list of criteria and read for relevance. The resulting literature forms the basis of qualitative and quantitative analyses and review.FindingsThe reviewed scholarship demonstrates a surge in publications since the early 2000s, with 75% of publications originating from the USA, Canada, or the UK Furthermore, themes related to live project definitions, outputs and rationales were examined, demonstrating that common factors such as “community”, “construction” and “pedagogy” are not mutually exclusive but tend to overlap, making the topic hard to define. These results also demonstrate a proclivity for projects with a built output. Barriers to live projects were also assessed, and it was found that administrative hurdles, such as time and budget constraints, were the biggest concern to live project practitioners. Finally, critical voices were examined and showed that live projects need to reflect on the nature of their engagement with the community.Research limitations/implicationsThis method, while capturing a substantial portion of the published scholarship, does not capture all live project literature due to limitations such as language and a strong focus on peer-reviewed publications. Furthermore, this research only captures literature that has been published. It does not reflect the variety and extent of live project activity occurring globally. For reasons such as unfamiliarity and inconsistencies with the use of live project terminologies, doubtless many unpublished live projects are conducted–yet not represented in these findings. This study may help live project execution by providing valuable examples of existing trends.Originality/valueThis paper captures the metadata from 110 live project publications, allowing for wide-ranging analysis, categorisation and discussion on the topic.

COVID-19 pandemic has caused many design bid build projects to suffer losses. Design bid build or DBB has the disadvantage of depth partnering. The research purpose is to reveal the depth of partnering of DBB, the characteristics of existing partnering in DBB through detection in each project life cycle in DBB, then efforts to increase DBB partnering to partnering in integrated project delivery (IPD). The methodology used is secondary data from three project DBB, then validation using focused group discussions (FGD) with expert judgment, then the Delphi method to analyse and propose recommendations. This project recommends that DBB project can improve the project performance so stakeholder can increase partnering toward integrated project delivery (IPD) partnering. This research can be used for increasing partnering in DBB projects towards partnering in IPD. This research will produce strategic recommendations that can be utilized by stakeholders (owner, contractor, designer) in improving project performance to generate great value for the project, will result in long-term project sustainability, improve relationships, and learn valuable lessons for future projects. DBB projects usually experience many problems due to the competitive nature of partnering for owners, contractors, and designers, so it is necessary to develop an overall strategy as an option to improve partnering in DBB project contracts. This research will help create a sustainable project by the owner, contractor, and designer.
