" Fast-tracking " procurement approach
A contractor is contracted and paid a fee to manage , procure and supervise the construction of a project rather than to build the project .
The actual construction works are contracted out to many package or specialist contractors sub contractors .
The management contractor is employed as a construction consultant to be part of the client's team .
The package contractor are in contract with the management contractor .
Sub-contractors
subcontractor enter into a standard JCT type of contract with the management contractor carry out construction work .
It is the management contractor who has a contratual relationship with the subcontractors who carry out the work , not the client . If any problems arise it is the management contractor who mustt pursue the subcontractor for a remedy .
Subcontractor are normally appointed by competitive tendering based on the drawings and bills of quantities .
Advantages
developer - work can start ealry - allowing deisgn and construction to overlap
To contractor - very few risks - the PM and QS control costs - cost exceed the budget are borne by the client .
