Traditional Versus CM Approach:

Traditionally, projects are awarded to main contractors who execute the projects with the help of specialized subcontractors. Project owners and consultants have little or no influence on those specialized subcontractors. The design, tendering, and construction process of projects remain sequential. A long period of time elapses before a project is awarded to a main contractor for execution. The following figure illustrates the difference between the traditional and the construction management approach towards project realization.

Management Approach Design Phase:

Construction Management (CM) is a construction procurement arrangement under which the Client enters into contracts with: the design consultant, the construction manager, prime contractors, and suppliers. The construction manager controls and administers activities of all the participants and generally provides the main communication and reporting link with the Client.

Each participant has a contractual obligation administered and managed by the construction manager. Since the Client is directly employing all the major project participants, he has the opportunity to have far greater direct involvement and control of the project than under conventional contract arrangements. This is achieved through the Construction Manager’s proactive activities in managing and reporting on all significant project operations. This allows the Client and Construction Manager to identify and manage risk effectively. It also helps recognize and control cost within the target.
 

The Construction Manager acts as an impartial professional management consultant, focused on the Client’s best interests. The construction manager is not a contractor seeking to maximize profit by manipulating time, cost, and quality to his own interest. Professional Construction Management recognizes that management of design, procurement, and construction is a specific and distinct professional discipline quite separate from the actual performance of design, procurement, and construction. Through the appointment of a Construction Manager, these activities can be planned, monitored, and controlled to the Client’s benefit by an expert professional who fully understands the entire process, and can align it with the Client’s objectives.

The CM approach is characterized by the clarity of roles, and can be summarized by the following statements towards each party’s involvement in the process.
