  • Abstract:
    The recently constructed Museum of Tropical Queensland in Townsville is reviewed as a case study in research into re-engineering the construction delivery process. The project involved an innovative approach to the procurement of a public building and resulted in a highly successful outcome. Several key areas which were identified as contributing to the success of this project need to be investigated further to establish their role in contributing to the success of other construction industry projects.
