Many projects run into cost overruns, schedule delays, quality, and performance issues. Thus, Project Owners are looking for solutions!
Construction Management (CM) is a great solution if done well! Construction Management is about building a collaborative team from the outset of the project. The team is comprised of the Project Owner, Consultant, and Contractor to address the key areas of functional requirements, time, cost, quality, and constructability.
Whether you are the Project Owner, Consultant, General Contractor, or Subcontractor, you need to understand your Construction Management roles and responsibilities throughout all project phases: predesign, design, project delivery, and post-construction.
