The Yellow Book

History and Evolution

The Yellow Book caters to the growing demand for "Design-Build" project delivery. The Contractor takes on the responsibility for both the design and construction of the works. This single-point responsibility can lead to greater efficiency and innovation.

Key Features

• Single-Point Responsibility: The Contractor is responsible for designing and executing the works to meet the Employer's Requirements.
• Lump Sum Price: Payment is often made on a lump-sum basis against a schedule of payments.
• Employer's Requirements: The Employer provides a set of performance specifications and requirements, not a detailed design.

When to Use It

Ideal for process plants, factories, infrastructure projects, and buildings where the Contractor has specific expertise in the design and construction method required.
