Abstract
Internationally, road procurement is moving towards more integrated services. At the same time, the number of alternative project delivery methods has increased making selection of the best one difficult. The client must understand the features of the methods in order to select the most effective ones. That is why the presented study compared the performance of DesignBidBuild (DBB), Construction Management (CM), DesignBuild (DB) and DesignBuildMaintain (DBM). Based on the analysis of road procurement, more integrated services give better value for money and are of more help to the client in attaining his goals than more traditional methods. Yet, one should realise that each method has its typical applications, and all methods are not suitable for all purposes.
