3.4.2.1 Traditional
• Traditional/conventional method also known as separated and
co- operative system. The key feature of the traditional method
is that the design and construction work are separated and will
be handled by distinct companies.
• In this approach, the architect will be solely responsible for the
project's design, which will be completed before the tender
process for selecting a contractor begins.
• Aside from that, the architect will serve as the client's
consultant in overseeing the construction process and
protecting the client's interests (Masterman, 2013).
• The project structure is illustrated by Figure 3.1.
