3.1 Management Contracting
Employer
▪ Employer selects designer(s) who produce the agreed design. Contractor is then
selected on a competitive bid.
▪ Scope of work, construction drawings & detailed specifications are given to
tenderer along with terms and conditions of contract.
Contract sum is not finalised until works are completed and assessed on
remeasurement to previously agreed basis.
▪ Usually used in situations where design (or type of works) can be described in
reasonable detail, but the quantity cannot be measured accurately before
tenders are invited.
▪ Allow early start on site, before design is completed and can allow changes to
be made to the works relatively easily.
▪ Employer bears risk for “unknow”.
▪ Common in civil engineering projects.
Contractor is paid his actual cost of materials, labour, hire charges of machinery & a
fee towards his profit and overheads.
▪ This method of contract is adopted for: (a) Emergency works; (b) For
miscellaneous works; (c) For works in which scope cannot be defined properly
at tender stage.
▪ Relatively high risk for client while contractor’s risk is minimum.
▪ Partnering ethos may need to be established.
Reimbursed in the first place on the basis of cost plus percentage or fixed fee, and
further payment to be made according to the comparison of the actual cost and
target price
▪ Any savings will accrue to the contractor by way of a share of the saving or an
increased fee
▪ If the cost exceed the target, either the contractor would be paid no fee on the
excess or possibly a reduced fee
