Synopsis

This in-depth guide to the construction management relationship takes a practical approach to the CM process -- focusing on legal, contractual, and technical issues. The authors -- a team of leading experts -- show you how to efficiently structure agreements between an owner and a construction manager. In clear, nonlegal language, they outline the problems that you may encounter with the CM approach -- so that you can avoid pitfalls before they happen. You'll find the information you need, to help pave the way: learn the definitional issues of CM and how to choose a construction manager; get a full understanding of the services provided by a construction manager, as well as the liability issues involved; become familiar with the CM's project role and sample contract language; and read case studies of actual construction management projects.
