Today’s construction world is more sophisticated than ever. Projects are larger and more complex. Sustainable design and green construction require more specialized building materials and systems. And we use more technology now, and more consultants and specialists.
One delivery method that effectively addresses these modern-day complexities is construction management. By treating the building process – planning, design, bidding, construction and occupancy – as integrated tasks, construction management enables the owner to better quality, cost and schedule, and realize increased value.
The building process is carried out by a construction team consisting of the owner, the architect and the construction manager. The owner identifies their requirements for the project; the designers put those requirements into a set of plans and specifications; and the construction manager ensures that the final design represents a quality, cost-effective, affordable project that meets the owners needs.
While the construction manager supports the design professionalsand their design efforts, his overriding concern is for the owner's best interests. With no vested financial stake in the project – in either its design or construction – the construction manager advises on all issues effecting quality, cost and schedule based solely on what’s best for the owner.
