Abstract
- This study aims to relate organizational characteristics on preferences for project delivery methods (PDMs) in construction industry of Pakistan. Artificial Neural Network (ANN) based model is developed for predicting proportion of projects done by different types of organizations under various PDMs. It is found that ANN model give satisfactory accuracy in predicting these proportions for test and training datasets. It is found that client organizations are more inclined towards traditional methods, especially Design-Bid-Build (DBB). Consultant organizations had relatively higher proportion of projects done by Design-Build (DB) and other non-traditional methods. Most of the construction organizations belong to the private sector which showed an inclination towards DBB and DB methods. The non-traditional PDMs had relatively higher preference for organizations who are involved in infrastructure or other specialized projects. Organizations who have more projects showed more tendency towards non-traditional PDMs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
