Abstract
Increasing construction costs for military construction and family
housing projects are severely testing the conventional method of contracting.
The turnkey contractual method of design-build has been
previously used in the process industries and most recently for DOD
family housing construction. This thesis reviews the construction procurement inter-relationships
including the architect-engineer, constructor and the contractual documents
. The turnkey concept as used by the private and public sectors
is explored, the military services approach is reviewed and the turnkey
concept evaluated. Trends in the contractual methods of the private
and public sector are discussed and the turnkey method is presented as
a concept that has not been fully evaluated nor previously permitted to
be used extensively within the Department of Defense beyond the limits
of family housing construction.
