<This section briefly discusses what the traditional approach looks like and includes references to the government's long-term maintenance obligation for the asset, and how it is paid for (150-200 words).>
In a traditional approach, the public sector hires an architect to design a <asset description>.or other <facility/road/other(describe)>, and then hires a construction contractor to build it. Once the <facility/road/other(describe)> is built, the public sector operates it <and maintains it>, typically by awarding numerous individual contracts for repairs and renewal. The government pays for the construction of the <facility/road/other(describe)> by making progress payments (for its own infrastructure) or by making capital grants to entities such as school boards, health authorities, and post-secondary institutions. <Government/Grant> funding is also used to operate and maintain the facility.
