Analysis of international experience in implementing “Design-Build” and “Design-Build-Operate” contracts

Introduction. The article examines the international experience of implementing large infrastructure projects in various countries using the “Design-Build” and “Design-Build-Operate” methods. It analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of these approaches and explores the possibility of applying them in infrastructure projects in Ukraine. Problem Statement. The shortcomings of the traditional project implementation method involve sequential completion of design and construction phases, time spent on organizing tenders for each stage, coordinating various contractors, and the distribution of responsibilities between the designer and the builder. Additional time costs may also arise if changes need to be made to the project documentation during construction. Objective. To analyze international experience in implementing infrastructure projects using “Design-Build” and “Design-Build-Operate” contracts. The goal is to identify the advantages and disadvantages of these contracts and determine their potential as an alternative to the traditional method for possible implementation in Ukraine. Materials and Methods. The research is based on analyzing international experiences with
