While the extent of contractor-produced design can vary, this method of construction procurement affords the contractor a greater level of input and responsibility than traditionally procured contracts, where the employer has greater design responsibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOver the last decade in the UK, it has become clear that D\u0026amp;B contracts are becoming the most popular method for procuring construction projects, often echoing the ways in which contracts for infrastructure and process plant can be procured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhilst D\u0026amp;B can provide a greater degree of contractor input for producing feasibility and concept designs, and then the detailed design to deliver a project, many clients amend standard forms of D\u0026amp;B contracts to alter the contractors’ design input.
