In this project (Mohammad Farhan’s house) the client has selected traditional procument route to
complete the project. In this method client has to appoint a design team and initiates with
construction process.
The design is completed fully before the tender process commences. It affords the Client a great
deal of control over the quality, specification and cost, however the timescale is lengthened to
achieve the completion of the design, and the Client maintains the risk in terms of the
Consultants Design and any unforeseen items e.g. ground conditions, as well as failing to benefit
from the contractors’ input on build ability by appointing the Contractor once the design is
completed.
As the contractor has no responsibility for the design, the Client is responsible for any mistakes
or omissions in the design. Although, some risk is shared with the contractor the majority of risk
is taken on by Client and the success of Design Team and the contractor.
