Abstract

Construction industry has been performing better than the software industry in delivering project on time and within budget. A comparative study is presented that shows the difference in development methodologies in the two industries. A new software development methodology is proposed that borrows some concepts from the design-bid-build strategy of the construction industry and merges it with the iterative nature of software intensive development.
