This document discusses four procurement methods - traditional, design and build, management contracting, and construction management. It analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of management contracting and traditional methods in terms of time, cost, risk, and design control. Traditional method provides more certainty of cost and schedule as design is complete before tender. However, it has a longer project duration. Management contracting allows for earlier start but has uncertainty of final cost until contracts are signed and client loses some design control. The document concludes the traditional method is most suitable for the project.
