Commercial Construction Management in Connecticut

Construction Management is a construction method created specifically to promote the successful completion of capital projects for owners, where the scope of work is incomplete at the time the construction begins or if the Owner does not have adequate personnel or resources to manage the project. Our Construction Managers in Connecticut work together with the Owner to successfully complete the project on-time, within budget and with the highest level of quality. Construction Management provides the most efficient and economic building program available, because it is "fee based", which simply means that the Owner pays only for the cost of the project and a fixed CM fee. Because the CM is responsible for the scheduling and all construction steps, the CM is able to provide a plan early in the process.

There are several types of CM contracting methods:

Construction Management Agency Basis

With this method, one of our Construction Managers in Connecticut furnishes consulting services during the planning, design and construction stage but does not actually perform the construction. The CM provides early advise on site selection, construction feasibility, cost phasing, scheduling, safety and site logistics. The CM is the Owner's advocate at all times however does not guarantee the final cost.

Construction Management At Risk (with or without GMP)

With this method, the construction firm is retained (as the CM) to furnish all services in connection with the project. Trade contractors then work under the CM to provide their services. The CM is responsible for the construction means and methods and delivery of the work within the Owner's objectives of cost, quality and time.

This can be accomplished with or without a Guaranteed Maximum Price or GMP (A Guaranteed Maximum Price can be determined once the plans and specifications for the project are finalized).
