I'm not sure, but DBOO also sounds like the client might be responsible.

I'm going with C) DBO. Doesn't that stand for 'Design, Build, and Operate'? Sounds like the client is in charge of the design.

Definitely not A) EPC. That's where the construction company is responsible for the whole shebang, including the design.

Hmm, I'm leaning towards B) Management Contracting. Isn't that where the client handles the design?

I think it's D) DBOO. The client is responsible for the design in that style of contract.
