What is CM/GCs impact on project costs?
There is a strong potential for lower project costs. Risks can be identified and allocated early in the project development. The owner has more control over the project scope, making it easier to stay within a fixed price. CM/GC also gives enhanced price certainty at an earlier point in design than either design-build or design-bid-build, since real time pricing information is inherent to the method. Design costs are lowered because designs can be tailored to a specific contractor”s capabilities.
