Australia: Airport projects in the Pacific face the same live-environment challenges seen in Australia and New Zealand, including restricted access, passenger movements and aviation security requirements, compounded by smaller contractor markets, limited specialist subcontractor capacity and long, imported supply chains. These conditions make procurement strategy and contract selection critical to successful delivery. This article looks at how to test market capacity early, package works realistically, and choose contract models, from lump sum and measure and value to guaranteed maximum price, incentivised target cost and Managing Contractor arrangements, that match the risk profile of the work.
