1.Daily Labour

In this model , the construction companies executes their work based on daily wages .

They are in connect with many Masons to get more labours. Mason comes up with set of labours and the work is executed.

Here the company should have full understanding on how much effort is required to accomplish the task

so that optimal money is spent on labour cost.Here , the company has more responsibility to get the work done .

This is the traditional execution model. But , now , the model is not adopted much .

Overall 5% of the companies adopt this.

2.SubContrators

In this model , all the work is given to third parties based on certain costs. For example , Civil Works can be given to Mason with a rate of Rs 1500 Per SqFt.

The same way this will be given for Plumbing , Electrician , Painting , Flooring and So on.

The advantage here is the companies can provide stage wise payments to subcontractors based on work completion.

So , the subcontractor has more responsibility in completing the work.

If the work is not done properly , the payment cannot be issued .

So, the company has good control on this.
