N2 - Project Delivery Systems (PDS) structure the responsibilities and risksharing mechanisms among construction stakeholders. Despite their central role, their differentiated implications for stakeholders across the construction supply chain (CSC) remain underexplored. Hence, this study investigates how various PDS models affect key actors, including owners, general contractors, and designers in Quebec, Canda. Based on semi-structured interviews with 19 experienced professionals, the findings highlight four main insights. First, beyond the owner who remains the ultimate decision-maker, designers and general contractors appear most sensitive to PDS choice. Second, PDS impact on project stakeholders are shaped by four determinants: the PDS type, the stakeholder’s role within the CSC, their maturity and experience, and the quality of their interrelationships. Third, key indicators reflecting this impact include cost control, schedule reliability, risk management, work efficiency, involvement level, and innovation adoption. Finally, the top three barriers to collaborative PDS adoption in Quebec concern trust issues, resistance to change, and resource-intensive. The study advances supply chain management literature by offering a stakeholder-level perspective on PDS impacts and operational guidance to improve productivity and decision-making process in the construction sector.
