Construction Contracting
According to the Contract, the contracting items include piling work, steel structure, civil work, M&E installation, decoration and so on, and full charge over the project quality, safety, time period and cost.
The common procedure is : win the bidding and earn the qualification > handle the construction formalities > mobilization and review the shop drawing > formal commencement > acceptance of work
- Cost Control
- Quotation based on the provided shop drawing is reasonable;
Relatively precise Contract price before commencement is helpful for the owner to early control the whole cost;
Any change during construction phase can lead to compensation. - Schedule Control
- Usually the bid should start only after the shop drawing is finished, which will prolong the starting point and time period, which is bad for schedule control. This is the biggest defect of construction general contracting, it limits the application of schedule control during the moments when the time schedule is tight
- Quality Control
- Whether a project quality is good or bad relies mostly on the choice of construction company and that company's managerial and technical standard. The Owner depends greatly on the construction company.
- Contract Management
- Owner only offers the bid for once, and sign the contract with only one company, it greatly reduces the workload of bidding and contract management.
- Organization and Coordination
- Owner is only responsible for the management and organization coordination of the contracted company, which reduces the workload.
In summary, instead of parallel contracting, general contracting largely reduces the workload of the owner to manage the contract and organization and coordination. However, it also leads to longer construction period and it is not beneficial for schedule control.
