4.1.3 Project Case Studies
Efforts to contact personnel involved in the 20 case study projects resulted in a total of 10
completed case studies (50% response rate). For those projects on which data was not collected,
the contacts either did not respond or said that they were not interested in participating in the
study. A summary of the projects is provided in Table 1 below. Additional information about
the projects is provided in Appendix 9.8.
The projects are located in nine different states across the U.S. within the Southwest, Northwest,
Midwest, Southeast, Northeast, East Coast regions. In terms of size, based on approximate
dollar value, two of the projects are small, four are medium, and four are large. Most of the
projects (7) were new projects, while the remaining (3) were renovation projects. The types of
project delivery methods utilized on the projects included both integrated delivery methods (5),
such as design-build and construction manager/general contractor, and the traditional design-bidbuild
method (5). The sample consisted of both publicly-funded and privately-funded projects.
Six projects were privately-funded, and four were publicly-funded. Seven of the projects came
from the award-winning projects list, and the other three were from the regular projects list.
