Description
Based on test results by the U.S. Army, using a price-based delivery method results in low performance by the general contractor and also means additional in-house requirements. On the other hand, the best value method reduced the requirements for additional in-house capabilities during major construction without costing more. Learn why the General Contractor's role varied between price-based and best value methods. This session enables attendees to:
•Assess the efficiency and the level of accountability for the best-value method.
•Implement an information environment formulated the weekly reporting systems.
•Discuss how the different methods affect communication between the owner and the contractor.
