What are the types of project contracting methods?

There are three common ways of project contracting:

1, the way of general contracting, the employer will contract all the projects to a construction unit, or to a construction consortium composed of several construction units as the general contractor of construction. The general contractor must have the qualification of general construction contract. After contracting the project, the general contractor mainly relies on its own construction strength to complete the construction task. According to the needs of the project, with the consent of the employer, other construction units can be entrusted as subcontractors to cooperate with the construction.

2. General contracting management mode The employer will contract all the projects to a construction unit, or a construction consortium or construction cooperative composed of multiple construction units as the general contracting management unit. Under the management of the general contracting management unit, the employer will contract other construction units. Under normal circumstances, the construction general contracting management unit does not participate in the construction of specific projects, and specific projects need to be subcontracted, and specific construction tasks are subcontracted to subcontractors. If the general contracting management unit also wants to contract some projects, it can contract some projects to it, but it must be obtained through bidding.

3. Contract-out method According to the characteristics of the construction project and other factors, the employer decomposes the construction project (sets it as different blocks), contracts the construction tasks to different construction units, and each construction unit signs a construction contract with the employer.

To sum up, there are three ways of project contracting. The first two are sent to a construction unit or general contractor. Parallel contracting requires signing a contract. It is suggested to determine the signing method in advance.
