This Special Collection on Legal Issues & Lessons Learned with Project Delivery Systems features the importance of legal issues that arise when various types of project delivery systems are used. By combining various phases (design, construction, operation, maintenance and financing) of the projects, the owners could save cost and time; however, it is critical to understand the impact on legal issues that can arise due to the use of these delivery systems. Therefore, the benefits and lessons learned using various project delivery systems featured in this Special Collection will help academicians and practitioners to use these systems efficiently in their future projects. As papers are accepted, they will be added to this online special collection. Readers are encouraged check back frequently to find more content added to this special collection.
