Private Message for prices

[Sheltie]

Do you know who is selling these.

[lovedubai]

How did you get these details and prices? I only had a brief email from Cayan and was told the 10% discount was for previous Cayan investors. Is that not true? The prices I was emailed from Cayan were also more expensive. I'm not impressed.

[bizzybonita]

who's the develper for tha project :cheers:

[lovedubai]

Cayan

[thedubailife]

^^ Lovedubai the prices are not actually finalised yet but should be by 7th Feb but i doubt they will actually change. Yes and discount might only apply to previous Cayan investors

The selling agents once launched will again be Palma as this is a Pre Launch price list, i doubt direct contact with Cayan or Palma would yeild the same prices.

If anyone is intrested PM me with your email address i'll pass back to my contact who can then take the matter further. I'm not sure if they will sell at those prices to non Cayan investors but we can only but ask.

I have some floor plan diagrams but not very clear i'll post sometime later.

[AltinD]

The design looks incomplete and to many references to Emirates Towers which make the design even more incomplete.

[Krazy]

thanks.. the design looks good as expected from cayan, any chance you can ask for a hi-res render?

[thedubailife]

^^ Already requested Hi-res renders and floor plans

[True Blue]

Good location but feel prices are high for off plan with no specification details. Completion Dec 2009 which means sometime after mid 2010.

Are Cayan getting greedy with these prices or are they realising that they have been under pricing when compared to Diamond Investments and their competitors on the opposite bank of the water, Dubai Select???

[Krazy]

under priced to Diamond Investments? that doesn't sound right

[Krazy]

the space shown here looks like 4 plots... or a plot for 4 towers... looks like cayan bought more space .. must have paid quite a lot

I like the style "Emirates Towers" style of this development looks really nice. You can get a one bed Type A with pool/marina view for AED 908 per sq/ft which seems a good price IMO. And you'll be right on the Marina edge. (Of course the full marina view is a lot more but even then 1,178 per sq/ft is not much out of line and still cheaper than Bay Central which comes around 1,300 sq/ft for one bed marina facing).
You have to remember prices in the Marina are increasing I heard they went up around 15% last year. These can't be the correct prices though as no floor numbers quoted and surely a unit higher up is going to cost more than one near ground level .

[malec]

Nice towers :)

[Morrismarina]

Just realised......end column shows these are the "starting prices".

[dubaiflo]

prices are not that cheap, still high level.

and i feel these two plots have been designated for one tower each only samir, i don't think they have bought morel

design looks ok, but i see altin's point..

[True Blue]

The architect is Hazel Wong of RMJM who also designed Emirates Towers. This is possibly why the design leans towards this project.

As for the prices, I feel anything over 1000AED/ft is a risk unless its infinity. Successful investors remove risk. A lot can happen between now and 2010. Dubai is not short of property for sale, those days of short supply will have gone soon. Anyone buying at these prices who suddenly need to liquidate cash could lose money easily, therefore the speculators will stay away from this one, I feel.

Just have a look at the four towers on a similar plot across the bridge in that picture and you'll see what I'm trying to suggest

[Krazy]

I find it hard to blieve that

[thedubailife]

The prices above are for exsisting Cayan Investors, so techincally to the normal person they would be 10% higher. Although i'm sure the sales person would give similar prices if you go through an exsisting investor.

But the prices do seam high especially when you add another 10% but Cayan must think there will still be a decent amount of interest at those prices. Time will tell but True Blue does have a point if you need to quickly liquidate at these prices you might end up with a loss. I'm sure they would be fine for long term investment.

Final prices and Floors plans are coming towmorrow so i'll post them when i get them.

[dubaiflo]

^^ This was one big single plot, like Marina Promenade for example, and so technically Emaar is allowed to build what they want on it, while other developers have to buy plots with designated No of Floors etc.

every single plot is for one tower only and we have Plots 3A and B here.

[Imre]

Today I saw this plot not bad but the marina is not too wide there , like a canal...

Latest news is that launch will now be in early May.

[dubaiflo]

we saw new rendering at property show and they looked more like 50F.

[thedubailife]

Well those heights are from a contact at Cayan, maybe been a design and floor change hence reason for May launch, all the info so far is pre launch.

[lovedubai]

we saw new rendering at property show and they looked more like 50F.

Has anyone got the new render please?

[dubaiflo]

i'll give it to you soon.

[dubaiflo]

ok i noticed i mixed those taller ones with the lamar towers. sp they are still the same size.

[lovedubai]

Cheers - thanks for clarifying that!

Excellent project... I bought some units... It is located next to the Marina Yacht club and he Marina Shopping center!..

The launch was amazing, it was at the Burj! very elegant and impressive.

[Tag_one]

Wow, great renders. when will the piling and shoring of this beauty start?

[thedubailife]

Work was supposed to start in June originally but since Launch was delayed maybe work will start a little later.

All i goto say is Cayan have managed to develop another decent project. The specs for the interiors are very similar to Infinity, so either this tower will have a great finish to the interiors or Infinity will be a lower quality then expected.

But i have faith in Cayan and i think they will ensure qaulity in both projects.

Also for once a render which shows that there are other towers in the vacinty and it's not built on it's own.

[Grubbman]

looks OK but would not like an apartment facing directly into another building accross the road or into the taller tower from the smaller one. Marina views should be nice however looking down the marina

[Krazy]

what are the prices like for this one? any marina facing 1 bdrs?

[ps500]

what are the prices like for this one? any marina facing 1 bdrs?

Krazy, I had availability and pricing information sent on 15th April, at that time there were no 1 bdr marina facing left. prices of pool facing units ranged fron 740-920k AED around 1100 to 1200 / sqft.

There were plenty of 2bdr with prime marina views 1,400 - 1,600k but these were pre-release prices. I believe prices are now +10%.

I have a spreadsheet with full details on - PM if you are interested

[Krazy]

How much did the 1 bdr marina facing go for originally?

[Dubai-Lover]

finally some nice looking towers again for the marina

they are on emporis already

[lovedubai]

Tower B is virtually sold out. There are a few type A 2 bedrooms available on the 5th-17th floors priced from 1,400,000 to 1,470,000 AED and the odd type B 1 bedrooms left. It's a great project and has obviously been very popular.

Cayan launches spectacular Silverene Towers at Dubai Marina

Cayan Investment and Development has just launched Silverene Towers - its fifth luxury development at Dubai Marina - at a glittering function at the Burj Al Arab.

The spectacular AED 800 million residential towers project is being built on the Dubai Marina opposite the water's edge in one of the best locations in the marina, being within easy walking distance of the Marina Mall, yacht club and Al Majara Community.

Designed by Hazel Wong, Regional Director for RMJM, creator of such masterpieces as the iconic Emirates Towers on Sheikh Zayed Rd, Silverene is the third architectural triumph she has produced for Cayan, the other two being The Jewels (Dubai Marina) and Lamar (Jeddah, Saudi Arabia).

Silverene's tallest tower will have 35 floors while the second will have 26 floors and both will comprise of studios, one, two and three bedroom apartments, duplexes and penthouses. Each tower will feature its own fully equipped gymnasium.

Linking the two towers will be a four storey podium with two floors of exclusive retail outlets, and a spacious sun deck with swimming pool for residents.

Ahmed El Hatti, Chairman of Cayan said 'Silverene's location is one of the best in the marina and Cayan has created a luxury lifestyle that takes full advantage of the 10,000 m2 site. Silverene will offer the best of everything from floor to ceiling windows to maximise the million dollar views, cutting-edge interior design, and fully equipped designer kitchens.' He said 'We are eager to have this project completed and delivered on time. Soil testing has been done and piling will start soon.

For those wanting a wider retail experience, the nearby Marina Mall will offer 275,000m2 of shopping splendour, including exclusive restaurants and state-of-the-art entertainment centre catering for all members of the family.
One of the largest boat clubs in the region is just minutes away, as is the sea, making Silverene the perfect location for those wanting a true marine environment.

Cayan has partnered with the well-respected Dorra Group and Al Gihaz Trading Company, one of the biggest in the Kingdom as cornerstone investors in the Silverene project.

Site works will begin before the end of May and when the Sliverene Towers are completed in June 2010, the Marina will be a thriving community offering a lifestyle that will be the envy of many.

Cayan has already handed over La Residencia Del Mar to purchasers and currently has Dorrabay, The Jewels and its international award-winning Infinity Tower under construction at other prime waterfront locations in the Dubai Marina. Cayan is also developing the Cayan Business Centre in the TECOM area in Dubai.

So where has this water come from is there another breach in the marina wall. The marina wall must have a thing against Cayan.

The guy in pictures saying to himself "Opps i did again"

[carpetking]

Cayan is the owner of the largest swimming pools in the Marina :uh:

[rexdmx]

So where has this water come from is there another breach in the marina wall. The marina wall must have a thing against Cayan.

The guy in pictures saying to himself "Opps i did again"

this is nasty if there is a breach in the walls...maybe just a small leakage that can be fixed hopefully quickly

[True Blue]

Let's not get too carried away here.

There is a thing called the water table which is a natural occurance. The closer to the sea or marina the higher the water table and in this case the water table will be sea level.

Dewatering will be carried out to reduce the water table. You see pumps running constantly on the marina walk as construction sites deal with infiltration of water. Obviously this site has not had any treatment so the water you see is perfectly natural.

Want any more info try googling water table or well pointing.

First result:Well Pointing systems are normally used to reduce the level of groundwater for the construction of underground structural works such as underground basements for buildings. Where there is a high water table which affects the construction works, the water level can be reduced by wellpont drilling and installing a series of boreholes around the perimeter and sucking or drawing out the ground water through pipes coupled together between each of the wellpoints. A vacuum pump connecting up to approximately 60 well points can then drawdown the water for dischage to a location well away from the present groundwater wellpoint drawdown area. Wellpointing can produce better results in fine granular soils... (eg sands).

^^ someone's real sensitive about cayan :|

That picture really puzzles me, there is a track dug in the ground with a pick on the ground at one end and a worker at the other. Did he put his pick down and go for a break then return to the wrong end of the track and say "sure I left it here, where has it got to?"

[Morrismarina]

The water table here is incredibly high indeed, haven't seen so much water as this and they haven't really started to excavate yet. I'm sure all other plots haven't hit water until a lot further down.

All gone!

So was this the old Egyptian sand compaction technique? Everyone who has been to the beach knows that water poured over sand compacts it and makes it firm enough to take traffic, or piling plant.

Not everthing is as it seems :)

[jeetha]

I’m looking at Imre's picture #102 wooden fences… right?

#104, same spot but fences but now metal.

Not that it mattered, but I was wondering, if I looking the wrong angle.

[Imre]

yes, they have changed the fence, now it is metal.

True , seems unlikely they have not really gone deep enough to start trying to compact the sand for piling (?) , it could be that its easier to work with (ie digging) when the ground is a bit damp :dunno:
either that or the high water tables just evaporated into the hot air:)

[Morrismarina]

IMO this will be one of the best developments in the Marina. Just wondered have any SSC forumers bought here and if so what have you purchased ??

[Krazy]

^^ I repeat.. there's no point in buying something that's nothing but a flat piece of land right now and won't be handed over to you for another 3 years or so when you can pay pretty much the same price and get something completed or near completion right away.

Now if the prices were lower than those of completed units, then there would be something to think about.

^^ But in the Torch you'll be even fatter, considering the mall and the hotels nexdoor will have nice restaurants too, and becouse the Cinema will be a little "far" you'll spend your day watching movies at home so will not even do the walk till the Cinema theater.

... Ooops I forgot you can walk everyday to Burj Al Arab instead. :D

[True Blue]

Is it just me or does the gourmet tower look like a stack of dinner plates? :nuts:

Wonder how the architect came up with that one.

[AltinD]

^^ It seams the final design isn't yet finalised, which explains the stalling progress.

Hi Mark, long time, no hear.

Pleth! you should trade AL DUA’A for Silverene, still available with excellent prices.

[dubaifirst]

Yes he did. ^^

Pleth! you should trade AL DUA’A for Silverene, still available with excellent prices.

There is no studios or one bed direct from the developer, the cheapest resale studio is 860,000 AED, I might take Imre,s advice and go back to Zumurud which I initially thought was overpriced, but as Imre said you can still pick up a studio in Zumurud for just over 500,000AED, if you forget about the size as they are smaller than Silverene.

[jeetha]

#SR608B CAYAN Silverene Apartment Studio Marina 607 Sq.ft AED 791,400/-

Yes Jeetha, you have a point here. I have waited a year now for my contract in Al Dua'a....

[dubaiprojects]

Dear All,
Please help me out.

Bought a 3 bed apartment in silverene.
the chart says Internal Size (sqm) = 159 +balcony area =24 sqlm
so total sqm area = 183

But if you see the floor plan of silverene website for 3 bed, and when I added the rooms size, it does not come near to 159 for internal size at all.
am i missing something in calculation or silverence is one project where they also included lift and loby area but did not inform buyers.


Can some engineer calc the size from the foloowing chat for floor plan of 3 bed for following units (take any one)
1902, 1802, 1702 etc any units on xx02 type
http://www.silverenedubai.com/

[dubaifirst]

As True Blue said before, you have to be careful when buying as to whether you are paying for gross or net area, according to your calculation you have paid for the Gross area which allows between 15 to 20% for services, common areas, lifts etc.

[True Blue]

^^ That's not what I said. I have not come across the practice of including lifts, common areas etc yet. Heard about it but don't know of any developer who is using this method.

What is the norm in Dubai is to include the thickness of the wall construction unless you share it with another apartment, in which case you take half the wall thickness. There is also no deduction for internal columns or shear walls. The internal usable space generally is 15%-20% less than the gross area of your apartment stated in the contract.

I know that Cayan refer to "apartment area" but they do not provide a definition, which is poor. They see fit to offer definitions of words like "Emaar", "drawing" and other useless definitions but apartment size or area is conveniently left undefined and "grey".

[jeetha]

1902, 1802, 1702 etc any units on xx02 type [/url]

Sure you have the correct type unit? Isn’t 02 ………a 1 bedroom.

[dubaifirst]

If anyone has a one bed or 2 bed for sale please PM me.

[dubaiprojects]

Hi,
May I know how many of the forum users here have bought apartments in cayan silverene and what are their future plans?

As For me, I would like to rent out my 3 bed, not sure how much will i get per annum rent by mid 2010?

[lovedubai]

I have a studio in Silverene. Initially bought it to help fund Infinity payments, but with the year delay on Infinity have decided to keep it and rent it out. Very pleased with both the price paid and the speed at which the development is progressing, compared with most others.

Hi

Yes. The site is a great source of info / updates.
That said, the view from Silverene is 'looking into this concrete jungle' opposite? There is not even an inch of gap to view the sea from anywhere? I wonder how Silverene ultimately will turn out to be.

Thanks.

There won't of course be much of a sea view but a great Marina view as Silverene is right in the middle of the Marina and it will be very sought after. Will be one of the very best developments. Actually there are some surprisingly large gaps in JBR so the "concrete jungle" will not be as bad as you'd expect.

I stayed in marina in an apartment which has a sea view and a marina view from alseff tower and the panoramic view was awesome.

Silverene may not have sea view but trust me it is situated in the best marina location (opposite to marina quay and adjacent to Dubai marina main shopping mall and AlMajara community, that makes silverene ideal for rental investment and ofcourse should you decide to live in there, you will love it.

However my only issue is the maintenance fee is a bit higher.

Regards

Dear Imre, when will you post the latest pics of the site?

[i love dubai]

I love the two towers I think the design is awsome when viewed from the other side of the marina. But what about residents, and vistors who approach the building from the front? The entrance and the pool area looks like they belong to a motel in America.
I think the residents of silverene desreve a much grander entrance.

[jeetha]

^^View video here and see entrance.

http://www.silverenedubai.com

Silverene is designed by one of the world’s top architects, so entrance has to be superior.

[i love dubai]

I checked it out the building is superb but the front area which I call the entrance is very dissapointing, a pool overlooking a parking strucure is wrong and if the architect is well known does not make a view of a parking strucure nice.

[mlane]

i bought a studio in silverene,dubai,hi Plet and to all of you

great that Jeetha and everyone else is keeping us up to date with all the information,i think when this is finished we will all meet up and have a few drinks in order to meet each other and just have a good time

sorry i have not been on for a bit,working hard at the moment

will be on more often now

happy christmas to all of you

[mlane]

at the moment,i am not even thinking about it really,i would rather wait until its nearly finished and see what i will do then

might even move to dubai as i am sick to death of the bad weather in ireland

i convinced myself i was born in the wrong country

Are there any people who bought in towerA??

[rags]

Imre, Jeetha, anyone,

Do you know why these apts remain unsold in Silverene for so long? I have been seeing these (one fresh and the others re-sale) listed in Cayan site for 3 months now, of course at the same price. Has the demand simply evaporated?

http://www.cayan.net/search.php#listtop

[lovedubai]

I'm not sure about the others, but the studio 1407 has been re-priced from 845,000 AED on the 24th November to 902,000 AED today. The asking prices on studios have continued to increase a great deal over recent weeks. Studio 608 at 791.000 AED is much cheaper than any others currently on the market.

[jeetha]

Morten’s friend just returned from Dubai after chasing a resale at Silverene, but after getting there, the seller didn’t want to sell or had changed his mind.

That’s why I can’t understand, that list myself.

Could be they are resale units, without premiums.

I was told all are resales when I talked to Cayan myself 2-3 weeks ago. I am also told Cayan has three lists - Desperate sellers - Sellers - not interested in selling (just feeling the market). The units available in Silverene did not seem a good bargin to my friend one week ago. Some of the real estate agents uses un-realistic lists to attract buyers, which I personnally think works opposite - also undermining the reliability of the agent.

Yes! sort of sales ads. Like… you see here on UK TV……Sea view Dubai…. advertising “Buy Dubai Marina apartments from £26,000. Nobody ever ring them to question, because it’s simply…nonsense

Dubai Marina - Silverene, 12th flr., Built up: 637 sq.ft., 1 B/R, Dhs 1,006,200/- all in.

Yeah - I've seen those ads - some of their property is not even in Dubai...but in Ajman. Bit like London Luton airport :ohno:

Makes me sick everytime some of my family that watch ZeeTV think they 'know' Dubai...

To add insult to injury Damac are sponsoring the Zee Carnival this year! Now I'll get the why didn't you get a free car type questions!

[rags]

Actually, barring S1908A, the other 5 are all resale units. They all have premium too. The resale units are designtaed as 'SR', meaning Silverene Resale. You can see these two lwtters preceding the apt numbers and the tower 'A' or 'B'. Only 1908 in tower A (S1908A) is still directly available from Cayan.

I noticed even this morning the old price for 1407B (840K) but I now see that it has been jacked up by the apt owner (seller).

Imre / Jeetha,

It is not clear from the snaps if there has been any noticeable progress in the project, if there are regular, on-going activities at the site and if Cayan is on course to achieving completion by the target date of mid 2010. Not being in Dubai, it is difficult to envision clearly. Could you throw some light please?

Thanks.

[AltinD]

^^Theorically it is possible, however if I was you I would put my hops on early - mid 2011 handover.

[jeetha]

I certainly hope it will be on time around June/July 2010. Also as long as it’s done well before Bay Central :) because I was tossing within the 2, before I bought Silverene.

I was in Dubai in Oct but never thought of Silverene then. When I returned to London, I was going through several sites and videos when I came across Silverene and bought a flat in bldg B thro' just a phone call. I hope you guys did a lot more vetting.

I am likely to go to Dubai again in March. Is there anything that I should particularly see / look for when I am there both in the Silverene project and, in general, in the Marina area?

With this speed you reckon they can complete as they claim by mid of 2010?
cheers

[True Blue]

Past history is proving that Cayan tend to be 1 year late with handovers, if that is any help.

They are also guilty of handing over before completion and weather tight dates have been reached.

^^ There we go, that should help to salvage my reputation as a fair and unbiased forumer ;)

[jeetha]

:yes: Completion was Dec 2009, been changed to mid 2010, around May last year on their site.

Tower A 35 Floors 251 units

Tower B 26 Floors 301 units = 552

Dorrabay Started March 2006 – August 2008 = 884

Silverene Started November 2007 – June 2010 = 943

Can be achieved.

I think the shoring finished, site cleaning,dewatering and excavation.
Piling will start soon.

mid 2010 is difficult,I would say 2011 but the prediction is still early , we have to wait the first 4-5 floors, after better to make a calculation.

Thanks for sharing the photos, Jeeta. Nice to see the operations on the site. Very positive with this development, and the developers past history. I am rest assured the building would be completed with minimal delays (i.e less than 12months) from the proposed completion date, as opposed to those that are shaping up to be delayed for 3-5years with 90% of money paid.

[jeetha]

I was very pleased by progress. If they carry on at this pace… dates can be accomplished, Silverene was delayed in starting (3 months) so maybe will finished after 3 months.

The rate of selling is now 170K sq ft. Cayan has also assured me that all prices are for net areas. Cayan were going to open 2 more floors, 28 and 29.

This is quiet a big plot, sorry pictures are not as good as Imre’s, but this is all I could get, with limited time and waiting taxi driver.
And I do believe this is one of the finest locations in the Marina.

[heatstor]

Thanks for the update Jeetha.
Progress looks promising.
I was told by Cayan they will sell new units at around aed 2k/sq.ft.

[jeetha]

Possibly the smaller once like studios or 1 bedroom, these always sell faster and for lots more then 2 or 3 beds.

Hi,

The apts advertised at cayan.net are quoting at about 1500 AED per sq ft and not much more. Also, apt 2206A, 2106A, etc has been on re-sale for several months at the site. It does not, therefore, seem to bear out that the apts can go at 1700 AED and more.

Any comments?

“This is the up to date list and not what’s on our web site”

I aked cayan about the 4 apts remaining unsold and advertised in their website for a long time. I asked them about the current price for resale as well as an update on the construction. The following is their response:

'We send updates to clients along with the payment reminder every 6 months so clients will receive one in June. The construction schedule is on track; shoring work is complete; they are now busy with the piling work.

Resales at Silverene is very strong; we sell about 5 units on resale at Silverene on a weekly basis; there are many reasons as to why a unit may not sell for a while including sellers who change their price or mind or cannot be contacted but the average price per sq foot now is Dhs 1200 to 1300.
Yes we released floors 28 and 29 in Tower A at an increased price'.

I emailed Cayan (Silverene) asking them if they knew who it belonged to, answer was “No I do not know the owner”.

Could be Emaar’s plot.

The large circular building at the bottom is the Marina Mall. Silverene is the two towers to the left, between the Mall and the bridge.

thanks guys for the updates,it is great to see progress being made and people keeping an eye on things

its difficult when people are from different countries but re-assuring that updates are being posted on here

thanks from ireland

I am surprised that Cayan now talks about 44 & 38 storeys respectively for the two towers. Further outsourcing of this project by Cayan too surprises me.

Tenders issued for Silverene at Dubai Marina
Published: 09 January 2008 09:27 GMT Author: Colin Foreman More by this Author Last Updated: 09 January 2008 19:19
Saudi-based Cayan Investment and Development has invited companies to bid by 25 February to build its Silverene towers project at Dubai Marina.
The estimated AED800m ($218m) contract involves the construction of two residential towers, one with 44 storeys, the other with 38. They will share a common four-storey retail podium.

The project is due to be completed by mid-2010.

UK-based RMJM is the consultant. Cayan has four other developments at Dubai Marina.

So, if 25th Feb was the last date for the bid, does anyone know the results of the bids received? Any news on that?

This post now should change to 44F + 38F... That is, until Cayan puts up even more floors in time to come. How did they give June 2010 as the delivery date then and continue to give the same date even now? Did they know then that they would later increase the number of floors but keep that info from buyers or are they now keeping from us the info (nasty news) that there indeed will be big delays now? Either way, I am uncomfortable.

Tenders will be back on 28 March - extension was granted. arabtec, cshk and others are bidding (7no. in total). main works to start 2nd half of may 08.

the towers are still 35f + 26f. the article is not accurate.

[True Blue]

I think this report is wrong. I am sure CRC were awarded the contract for Silverene.

CRC are on site now so does not make sense.

[jeetha]

^^That’s what I was thinking, because CRC moved crane, over from Dorra Bay.

Also would be nice, if Cayan could possibly keep Silverene website site, updated every now and then.

[jeetha]

@True Blue - pictures you posted on site were lovely. Thanks
@Imre – anymore updates?
@Morris – please take pictures of this site, when you are there next week.
@Glover – can you see Silverene plot, where you live?

It would be nice if Imre or someone who resides locally in Dubai could find out from Cayan and confirm for good that the towers will have no more than 35and 26 floors as marketed initially.

I have emailed them. Waiting for answer.

CRC have only been awarded the two enabling works packages (separate shoring and piling contracts). Main works not under way yet as tender is still out.

CRC are part of Dorra - and Dorra are part owners of Silverene ( i hope not more than 50%). Recipe for disaster if CRC win the contract IMO. How would you ever get a contractor to perform? - consultants would have little authority in a traditional type procurement if the contractor is in effect the client. Quallity could be a big issue. Just my 2 fils worth...
