Your 1st question, is this a common practice? I have not done any research to confirm this is best practice. But what i can say is, this is not about best practice (If it exists for this situation, fine). What matters more is what the client wants and what is used within the contarcting organisation.
Secondly, P6 allows you to link two projects, as one is a sub-project, unfortunately I cannot write how this can be done, as it would be time consuming

Thanks a lot for your reply, i appreciated it much.
according to what you say, i've to make 2 primavera projects, one for controlling contractor schedule, and the other for my consultant office services. did i put it correctly?
if so, i've 2 questions, if you may
1- is that a common practice?
2- does primavera allow me to link between the 2 projects, (i.e. FF relationship between consultant supervision services (P1) and contractor project handover milestone (P2)
I believe your key question is controlling a contractor schedule? In other to control the overall schedule it is appropariate to have all the schedule under one project, depending on how large the project is, your contractor schedule obviously will be a separate project - still sitting under the main project. Controlling the schedule requires keeping tab on the progress of the project and at the same time have a robust change control for the project.
Hope this helps.
