What are separate contracts, and what are the principal advantages and disadvantages for the owner?
What will be an ideal response?
Under the system of separate contracts the owner signs separate agreements for the construction of various portions of a project. In this manner the owner retains the opportunity to select the contractors for the various important phases of the project. Also, the responsibility for the installation and operation of these phases is directly between the owner and contractors rather than through the general contractor. In this contracting scheme the owner or their agents provide the coordination between the contractors.
