統包工程主要由統包團隊負責工程之設計與施工，因此團隊中，設計單位與營造廠間之協調與合作能力，將為影響統包工程是否執行順遂之關鍵因素。 然而，受國內營建法規之限制，建築設計單位與營造廠之間，多為監造與被監造之關係，雙方合作經驗甚少，故當雙方因統包工程而結盟時，常無法有效整合工作成果，導致設計與施工介面無法整合，因而降低統包模式之效益。為此，本研究以實現統包快捷施工為目的，針對設計單位與營造廠之設計與施工流程之協同整合進行研究，並建立一設計/施工整合架構(Integrated Design-Build Framework, IDBF)，以做為統包團隊進行流程整合之依據。
設計/施工整合架構中，首先針對業主工程需求，利用原則設計(Axiomatic Design)之方式，將工程分解成不同之設計/施工包(Design-Build Modules, DBMs)，並依據分解過程中所釐清之設計與施工作業間從屬關係，建立一快捷施工模型(Fast-tracking model)，作為統包團隊執行快捷施工之參考。為了有效執行快捷施工模型，本研究進一步建立一跨組織流程再造方法(Cross-organization process re-engineering method, COPReM)，透過流程相似度之分析，找出設計單位與營造廠流程間之相似作業及相似資訊流，據以進行跨組織流程之整合，建立統包團隊之協同流程模型(Collaborative Process Model)。最後，本研究以多代理人之架構(Multi-agent system architecture)，開發設計/施工流程協同系統(Design-Build Process Collaboration System, DBPCS)，用以自動管理並執行協同流程，提供一整合之作業環境，使設計者與營造工程師得以透過作業資訊共享訊息溝通之方式，進行協同工作。
綜言之，本研究以快捷施工為前提，建立快捷施工所需之設計/施工整合流程，進而透過系統之輔助，完成各流程作業。藉由此架構，設計單位與營造公司間的組織間流程，將可依據各自之流程特性或因應統包契約內容，彈性結合設計單位與營造廠專案管理流程。

Design-Build (D/B) is considered to be the fastest project delivery system as it encourages fast-tracking of design and construction phases. However, the unfamiliarity of design-builders in Taiwan with the D/B process has decreased the benefits of the method. The collaboration between the architecture/engineer (A/E) and the general constructor (GC) has not been simple. The limitations of Taiwan laws and regulations tend to keep A/Es and GCs to their own spheres, so that functional intervals between them bring difficulties in cooperating as a D/B team. Accordingly, it is desirable to increase the collaboration efficiency of fast-tracking in the D/B team.
This research extended business process reengineering (BPR) philosophy to the cross-organizational process to integrate fast-tracking processes between A/E and GC, so that the processes used by a D/B team can be integrated across organizational boundaries. Combining the fast-tracking mechanism, the cross-organizational process reengineering philosophy and the multi-agent system architecture, an Integrated Design-Build Framework (IDBF) was developed to implement the fast-track construction through the performance of A/E’s and GC’s collaborative processes in a D/B team.
Summarily, this research proposed a collaborative-process-based mechanism to facilitate the flexibility of process collaboration and the feasibility of fast-track construction, assessing the alliance of A/E and GC in one design-build project.
