reasonable percentage of people feel confident enough that they can run a building project.\u00a0 Building is a complex process dealing with large costs, technical issues and difficult timing and programming issues, it is though responsive to good management techniques.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Times New

falls on the owner, including insurance issues, safety issues, supervision of the works to ensure proper quality and completion of subcontracts and the emerging legislated Home Owners Warranty Insurance requirements.\u00a0 These can make it very difficult to sell a property within six years of construction unless the works have been inspected and certified during construction.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The upside is that the process gives excellent control of costs and quality of the end product to the owner and usually results in substantial savings, over 30% in many cases, through not having to pay a builder\u2019s rates and margins, though it is often difficult to achieve the same deals as a larger builder as far as materials are concerned.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span

this instance the Owner still takes on the role of builder but as principal only, employing a construction professional as their agent to actually run the project on a day to day basis, appoint subcontractors and supervise the works to ensure all is done properly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Times New

managers fees.\u00a0 Against this though, the manager is responsible for areas such as site safety and works supervision and a good manager can usually save a bit of costs by ensuring the project runs smoothly and subcontracts are managed well and good deals on materials are achieved.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Times New

construction project and simply act in a project manager role themselves, saving a manager\u2019s fees but still not being involved in actual work or day to day on-site activity.\u00a0 This option

complex building works where it is unreasonable for a builder to give a fixed price due to an unusual design, site or program requirements.\u00a0 It means the client obtains the building for its cost, plus the builder\u2019s usual margin.\u00a0 The works are the responsibility of the builder and must achieve the standards set out in the drawings, specifications and

in.\u00a0 It is usually the most expensive option as the builder is tightly constrained by the contract to deliver on time and on budget and hence has to \u201ccover their ass\u201d so to speak, to
