Abstract

The owners, architects, engineers, and contractors (OAEC) industry needs to enable a collaborative decision-making process to include different perspectives and thereby find the best solutions regarding some of the challenges we face, e.g., environmental impacts, social responsibilities, and economic pressure. Decision-making is a key element through which innovation and changes can be introduced to construction projects. The need for a collaborative decision-making process and the methods used to make decisions have been discussed in previous research. However, changing the way we make decisions calls for a new definition of the roles and responsibilities of the involved parties. In this paper, we analyze three different cases to identify the concerns of the different stakeholders and recommend how roles and responsibilities could be defined with the aim of making more collaborative, transparent, and value-adding decisions in the OAEC industry.

Keywords

Collaborative decisions, choosing by advantages, roles, responsibilities, sustainability.
