I worry about the way they're doing it. We always go with a "One throat to choke" approach on our company contracts otherwise, unless the scope of work and delineations of responsibility are exceptionally well-designed, you end up with incompatibilities and missed requirements in the final construction. It inevitably leads to very expensive change orders. Or as this picture eloquently puts it:

I think they're being pushed to this because they need to show progress milestones by certain dates for their loan covenants. This is the quickest, and most expensive, way to do it.
