Abstract:
Successful construction projects adhere both to deadlines and budgets. Many experts believe that the key to the success of a construction project is the process by which it is organized and managed, or the \"project-delivery method.\" Historically, state laws restricted public owners to using a project-delivery method called design-bid-build. In 2001, three more methods were added to the North Carolina General Statutes. Riecke discusses the implication to the construction industry of each method.
