The Revista Digital de Direito Administrativo at the University of São Paulo (USP) published a paper of my own which analyzes the execution of engineer works and services by contracts of design-build system. The paper also investigate the main features of the institute and reveal serious problems which can happen by this practice, especially regarding the restrictions entered into a contract and by the undue use of the risk allocation matrix. Besides that, it is a case study in the light of European Law (especially Italian, French and Portuguese Law) and American Law, revealing the main differences between integrated contracts in those countries and Brazilian Law.
