About this ebook
Fundamentals of Construction Project Delivery Systems by Yong-Woo Kim is a seminal 2026 textbook published by Routledge that reframes project delivery as a strategic design endeavor rather than a passive administrative exercise. Written by Dr. Yong-Woo Kim, a full Professor at the University of Washington, the book challenges conventional industry mindsets by focusing on organizational integration, stakeholder alignment, and modern procurement strategies. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

- Part 4: Moving Forward – Framework procurement, program-based sourcing, and collaborative innovations. [1]
