Why Hire a Construction Manager?

Construction management is the overall planning, coordination, and control of a project from beginning to completion. Managers are necessary to meet the client’s requirements in order to keep the build viable. They bring professional expertise to cost estimating, systems analysis, value engineering, constructability reviewing, activity scheduling, staff and materials procurement, construction coordination, and supervision.

There are distinct advantages to hiring a construction manager instead of a general contractor. In summation:

1. A construction manager orchestrates the bidding of individual bid packages to enable faster construction. The earliest possible starting and completion dates are obtainable due to phased construction.
2. The owner’s objectives are aligned with those of the construction manager. The owner, architect, and construction manager work together towards the project's success, thereby avoiding the animosity attributed to other contract formats.
3. The construction manager protects the owner’s interests with subcontractors throughout the construction process.
4. The owner maximizes the use of his construction dollar due to the cost input during the design phase
5. Pre-purchasing of long lead items is made available to prevent delays in the construction phase.
6. The construction manager troubleshoots the design to prevent change orders and redesign. The construction manager checks constructability and construction methodologies.
7. It is possible to redesign certain portions of the project without affecting the schedule during construction.
8. Price checks by the construction manager throughout the design phase keep the project on budget and on schedule.
9. The construction manager schedules and administrates the bid process.
10. The construction manager works on a fixed fee, with all of the construction savings being returned to the owner.
11. There is input on costs, materials, and scheduling throughout the design phase. The owner is best positioned to make good design decisions with accurate and timely information through the preconstruction involvement of the construction manager.
12. The owner is afforded an open-book to job costs and billed actual costs rather than an estimate of costs.
13. Change orders are virtually eliminated.
14. Bids are received from a select list of prequalified and/or preselected subcontractors, giving the owner the benefit of selected qualified companies.
15. Costs are paid for after they are incurred.
16. The requirement for bonding can be eliminated.
