Multiple contracts Some owners will contract with multiple general contractors on the same site. This scenario is sometimes referred to as multiple primes or five primes. Some owners will also employ specialty subcontractors directly. What sort of risks and coordination issues is an owner assuming by not placing all of the work on one site under one GC? Does this save or cost the owner money? Do these sorts of multiple contracts also place risks on the contractors or designers? Does this also provide for "contracting opportunities for the contractors? When might this not only be an acceptable delivery method for the project owner, but a preferred one?
