Introduction
In this world most of the projects are achieved by contracts. And as a norm to accomplish
the project efficiently we ought to manage the contracts first. The proprietor has the exclusive
power to choose the type of contract & execution method to be adopted for a particular facility to
be built and to set onward the standings in a contractual agreement. Selecting the appropriate
technique to deliver the venture will simplify the project implementation and give flexibility in
the course of construction by means of saving money and time for a firm and consequently the
same to the proprietor.
The traditional Construction method of delivery occasionally denoted to as design bid build
remains the most generally used technique of acquiring building works. In the traditional

consultancy firm generally track through the execution of a venture after the design is finalized
and rarely have widespread contribution in the design itself. Because of the legal action climate
in the last two decades, most consultancy firms only offer eyewitnesses instead of supervisors in
the field. Even the workshop drawings of production or building schemes given by the builders
for authorization are appraised with a renunciation of responsibility by the Consultancy firms
Arain, (2016).
The client may choose a builder either by reasonable bidding or by concession. Public
organizations are obligatory to use the reasonable bidding approach, while cloistered groups may
select whichever method of action. By means of reasonable bidding, the client is enforced to use
the consultant-builder order since detailed drawings and stipulations ought to be all set prior to
inviting bidders to give in to their bids. If the client selects to use a discussed contract, it is
