3.2.0     Stage 2 - Tender & Award

• In this stage, if a single general contract is being let, then prior to construction 'PCM' is a knowledgeable construction industry representative. Following award, the 'PCM' is the General Contractor's manager. If trade contracts are to be let, the PCM is the appointed construction manager. The following table assumes trade contracting, which gives rise to more detailed project and technical management. Otherwise, much of this work is done within the General Contractor's organization.

• At the end of this stage the owner/sponsor must select a contractor and proceed to Construction. (At this point, it should not be a question of whether or not to construct.)
