Construction Management

Construction Management

The CM method starts with the Owner hiring a construction manager early on in the process to provide pre-construction services working with the architect and/or engineer to establish the project program, constructability, schedule, and establish benchmark budgets in a collaborative team environment. Because the project may not be fully designed when construction begins, the CM typically provides construction services on a cost-plus-fee basis, sometimes including a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP). The Owner holds a separate contract with the architect and/or engineer.

Advantages:

  • Contractor has input during design for constructability & budget analysis 
  • Owner inclusion in bid process & selection of subcontractors
  • Scope clearly defined during design
  • Cost and schedule guaranteed
  • Single point of responsibility for construction
  • Design and Construction can overlap to accelerate project delivery
