This term is used to mean the arrangement under which the promoter appoints a manager with his own staff to organize the letting and supervision of construction contracts which are placed by the promoter. Design may be by the promoter’s staff, or can be placed as a separate design package or packages let by the promoter, but supervised by the manager.

Disadvantages include the separation of the promoter’s design requirements from construc- tion supervision, and the extra cost of the manager and his staff
