I was honoured by Tamer El-Diraby’s invitation to talk with his civil engineering graduate students about Project Delivery Systems and Finance.

Other than introducing the basic concepts and approaches, I also wanted to convince the engineers that the choice of delivery model will affect the project’s design and construction and, therefore, engineers need to both understand delivery models and participate in their evaluation. Plus, there is no _correct _ delivery model, rather there are trade offs that need to be evaluated in choosing the right model for each component of a project.
