responsibility and the demands on the employer for co-ordination of the project. Through the proper allocation of responsibility for the project to reflect these strengths and weaknesses, the employer can rationalise the price of the contract against his exposure to project risks. The employer's first consideration will be to identify the design source, i.e. the person who will develop the employer's requirements for the project into a practicable design. This design

the past, the general overhead in construction projects was not important compared to project costs. However, with the new construction environment and its changes such as the high usage of lean, BIM, and LEED, everything has changed. Nowadays, most of the construction contractors are measuring their general overhead costs and trying to control it. To gain profits, they started to allocate their general overhead costs to different construction projects they are working on. In this paper, we investigate
1. Cost: when we are looking at the cost of the construction project we have to look through and have to consider all the stages of the design and the construction project this is part of the specification. It is very important to have the cost estimator involved right from the start of the project to ensure that the project budget reflects the decisions made by the project construction team throughout the integrated the design process. 2. Quality standard and legislation: quality is the part
