Examining Alternative Project Delivery

Across the world, Parsons Brinckerhoff is taking part in infrastructure projects being executed under some form of project delivery other than the traditional design-bid-build model that was the standard in much of the world through the mid-20th century. In some regions, such as the United States, alternative project delivery is still an emerging market; in other regions, such as the UK and Australia, innovative methods of project delivery—including various forms of design-build, public-private partnerships and alliances—are the norm.

This issue of Bulletin presents a selection of Parsons Brinckerhoff's work in alternative project delivery, including perspectives on the subject by key managers in our UK, Australia and US operations.
