What is Construction Management (CM)?
Broadly speaking, Construction Management is the tradional role of the builder … then some. So it aims to manage the construction phase, but does it in the context of the total project process. So the role is more of a manager than a builder. In effect it is them who will have a number of separate contracts not the builder (which is the usual head-contract and many sub-contracts structure.) An owner builder for example is also a construction manager. But of course CM is used as an independent service on somewhat larger projects.
