Recently, building construction delivery systems in US and UK, previously based on traditional Design-Bid-Build system, have been progressively diversified. This study analyzed such "diversifications" in both countries and identified recently developed Four (4) typical structures of building construction delivery. And it compared those respective natures of such "diversified" systems, including relevant social systems being necessitated to implement those contracting structures. Accordingly, it found out the necessities of sophisticated contracting and management strategies, in order to facilitate collaborative design development, progressive price negotiation during design process, and management of progressively changing roles and responsibilities of diverse project participants. Based on the results, it discussed possible direction of "diversifications" in Japanese building industry in near feature, and needs and problems for restructuring relevant social systems in Japan.
