Design Management in Focus: Quantitative Insights into DBB Project Performance Across Indian Case Studies

Maj Deepti Nangia, Virendra K Paul

Abstract


This article analyses the impact of Design Management Consultants (DMCs) on projects. This technique produces outcomes in Design-Bid-Build (DBB) building projects in India. Employing a mixed analytical methodology, assessment of  10 projects was carried to examine cost reductions and timetable adherence. Studies demonstrate that projects utilizing DMC have fewer delays. This study yields less rework and improved compliance with environmental standards. This study emphasizes the essential function of interdisciplinary collaboration via DMCs and their importance in achieving project success.
