  3. “ Many of the old rules for project delivery that held sway in the industry no longer have the same potency as they once did…

  5. “Advocates of design-build believe that the sole-source method of procurement forces the team to iron out many of the project wrinkles on their own because the entire team will be held accountable…

  6. “Still others believe that construction management for fee is the best way of ensuring that the owner gets the best of all worlds because there is an agent inspecting, measuring, observing and protecting the owner’s interest…
