Stage 3 > Developed Design
Where management procurement is followed, there will
still need to be an overall design scheme even though it is
anticipated that the detailed development will be phased.
Thought should be given to how the works packages will be
broken down, as this in turn might influence some design
decisions.
‘Management procurement’ is the term used in this book to cover
any form of procurement using management methods, such as
‘management contracts’ and ‘construction management’. With
management contracts, a management contractor is appointed
through a tender and interview process and paid on the basis of the
scheduled services, prime costs and a management fee. Its role is to
manage the execution of the work, but it is not usually directly involved
in carrying out any of the construction work, which will be done in
‘packages’ undertaken by works contractors, usually appointed by the
management contractor.
With construction management agreements there is usually a lead
designer and a construction manager responsible for managing and
coordinating the work, with the client entering into all trades contracts.
For detailed advice on this refer to Which Contract? (2007).
