When clients more often choose to transfer from” traditional” design-bid-build contracts to design-build contracts it creates consequences of risks and possibilities for all involved parties. In collaboration with Skanska as a case company and their division “Väg och Anläggning i Väst”, this thesis was conducted as a qualitative study with the intention to examine what consequences it have on the contractor when an increased amount of contracts transfer from design-bid-build to design-build. This thesis shows that the contractor agrees that there are some difficulties with design-build contracts, and that the transition from design-bid-build to design-build takes place in a relatively short time, also that the contractor and the client lack the experience and skills required to perform a good project without major complications. Many of the problems that occur today can be derived to individuals and their communication skills, by increasing cooperation and open up for a better dialogue between the parties, which creates opportunity for both the client and the contractor to gently adjust to the changes that the transition to design-build contracts means. An Increased cooperation and a more open communication, will result in better working conditions and a better end product.
