It is a new procurement system in Hong Kong although its name has existed for decades. Design and Build has proven successful in small-scale projects with standard designs in which the quality of design and construction is not a major concern. However, its application to a large project worth as much as HK$ 1,2 billion (US$ 153 million) had not been fully tested in Hong Kong. This study aims to investigate the benefits and difficulties encountered in applying Design and Build in Hong Kong for a large scale complicated construction project from the point of view of an owner. A case study of the project. The Happy Valley Racecourse Redevelopment will be used to illustrate the application, performance, advantages and disadvantages of the Design and Build-approach
