Construction management is a comprehensive practice that applies
strategic management techniques to the planning, design and construction
of large projects. The ultimate goal of construction management
is to control project time and costs, while assuring quality for
the project owner.
Construction management does not design or construct the project.
Rather it implements a framework in which all phases of the project
are carried out efficiently and effectively. Applied to a project
from start to finish, the construction management process is developed
specifically for each project, resulting in a timely and affordable
completion of any project.
The main benefits of construction management are as follows:
- The owner’s best interests are represented through all
phases of the project
- Compensation is not contingent on the final cost of the project
— eliminating a conflict of interest that may arise from
managing the costs of the project
- Flexible services are tailored to each specific project
- Costly changes are virtually eliminated due to advanced planning
throughout the course of the project
