Building construction has a profound impact on economic, social and environmental sustainability. The transformation of building construction towards reaching the United Nations sustainability goals will necessitate a transformation of project delivery models (PDMs) in construction projects. Successful management of uncertainty is essential for a project to reach its goals. Sustainable transformation is increasing the complexity and need for innovation in construction projects, and complex projects have a relatively high tendency to fail in reaching their goals. Collaborative project delivery models (CDMs) are considered particularly suitable for complex projects with high uncertainty and need for innovation. A CDM can be divided into contractual, organizational and cultural elements. The relationship between CDM elements, uncertainty and sustainability is insufficiently understood. This chapter seeks to fill the research gap by examining experiences from five large European collaborative projects studied in two longitudinal multiple-case studies carried out in cooperation with two of the largest project owners in the Norwegian construction industry. Experiences from the five case projects demonstrate how CDM elements facilitate early and joint management of opportunities and risks in a way which can advance both economic, social and environmental sustainability. For a CDM to successfully contribute to the advancement of sustainability, its elements must be selected and implemented in ways that ensure the recruitment, incentivization and organization of suppliers and personnel with competence and commitment to create a collaborative culture aimed at achieving sustainability goals. Social, political and market uncertainty in the front-end greatly impacts the ability of the client to select and implement such a CDM. In future research, it is recommended to study in detail how collaboration towards sustainability goals can be integrated into CDM elements and to carry out comparative quantitative studies on how projects with various forms of such integration perform economically, socially and environmentally.
