According to NRM3: Order of cost estimating and cost planning for building maintenance works, the term ‘maintenance contractor’ (or prime contractor) refers to:
‘…the contractor responsible for the total maintenance and completion process. The term Prime contractor is often used to mean the Main contractor in central government and the defence sector..
The maintenance contractor’s overheads and profit are:
