Construction Management is a project delivery
method that allows Owners to avail themselves
to the services of construction professionals
in the development and design phases prior
to construction. This early phase is called
Pre-Construction and the primary focus of
which is risk management in the areas of
budget and constructability.
Cost and constructability consulting
as a Construction Manager can often entail
several years and iterations of design
and pricing effort. When the design phase
has met he Owners’ goals of constructible
plans within their budget guidelines,
the construction phase begins.
Construction Management usually entails
the constructor working in a traditional
general contracting role for a Guaranteed
Maximum Price (GMP) for a fee or, simply
for a fee, or negotiating a final lump
sum contract with the Owner.
