Abstract
This paper reports on a project sponsored by the Electrical Contracting Foundation that examined the design/build (D/B) approach and the various dimensions of the decision process that electrical contractors consider before entering this emerging marketplace. Electrical contractors were surveyed regarding many different aspects of D/B and how those factors impact their business.
