Construction users, owners, and developers navigating today's expanding market are still dealing with questions about the best building process for their businesses. Using a single, general contractor or multiple prime contractors is one of the major questions they face. Single vs. Multiple Prime Contracting proves that using multiple prime contractors offers a distinct financial advantage to owners.

Using sample data from publicly funded state construction projects, the study shows that projects organized with multiple prime contractors have five percent less direct costs than projects that used a single prime contractor. About 80 percent of these savings are attributable to lower bid costs for multiple prime projects.
