Discuss and analyze the positive and negative aspects of three different procurement methods for construction projects
This 2000 word report should describe and analyse the positive and negative aspects of three different procurement methods for construction projects. More modern types of procurement are recommended. Benefits and problems for the client/developer, the consultants, the builders, the subcontractors and the end-users should all be considered.
Please answer the “who, what, why where, when and how” of the positive and negative aspects of your selected systems. The report must be divided into subsections and must be provided with an executive summary of one paragraph, a contents page at the beginning as well as page numbers. Referencing should conform to the Harvard system.
The report should describe the characteristics of the three contrasting procurement systems which you have selected. A chart to compare and contrast the three choices would be helpful. You should express an opinion about the kinds of projects which are suited to the different procurement methods and make recommendations about this as if you were advising a potential owner/developer. Remember that you have ethical obligations when recommending a course of action to a potential client. Support your opinions with high quality references. You should also include a disclaimer stating that you have no conflict of interest in terms of the views you have expressed.
