| Abstract | Design-build contractual practice has been developed for a century to convey the benefits to
construction. Design-build method itself encourages efficiency improvement of administration
the project in reducing time and cost aspect. However, it is very sensitive to apply in real work
situation. Improper practice may convey the enormous failures instead of success to the
project and result in very serious problem such as extensive delay in project completion,
quality of work, and uncontrolled scope growth in work and cost that result in an increased
number of claim and litigation.
For Thailand particularly in Public Sector, it has been widely practiced especially in extensive
infrastructure project, which is still increasingly developed. However, very few public
organizations have received it as the tool to gain most benefits of design-build method. In
addition, expansive problem has been arisen due to improper contract administration.
This thesis focuses on design-build of infrastructure public owner project in Thailand and
mainly emphasize on mechanism of owners' involvement in administrating the contract
through roles and responsibilities in administrative procedure as payment, request for
information, submittal and approval procedures, change in works and time, inspection and
claim procedures. Data were included contract conditions and clauses, which would be
interpreted as a mapping procedure and identified rights and responsibilities. Furthermore, the
supportive information was collected through personal interview. The in-dept interview of
experienced engineers from both design-builder and owner sides were executed based on the
data provided form the contract conditions in order to get their perception and the practicing of
the contract implementation. Accordingly, the effectiveness and deficiency of each procedure
can be determined. |
