- key on hand.
Recommended for large projects, however, it is not
recommended for small or medium projects.
Facilitates the project for the client, where the main
contractor is responsible for the design and
construction of the project.
Because the risk is mostly passed on to the
contractor, this can raise the cost of the same, due
to the degree of uncertainty, depending on the
information and the clear and concise scope.
 Everything we have seen in the different
approaches and models, give us the basis to
achieve a successful project. It is important from
the beginning of a project to use an adequate
model, taking into account each of its involved
parts.
