CM/GC is similar to CMAR (Construction Management At-Risk) and GC/CM (General Contractor/Construction Manager) alternative project delivery methods. Price & Cost Certainty Reduce cost by capturing value engineering and schedule savings up front, during the design phase. Schedule & Speed Schedule is developed cooperatively, so speed is optimized and completion is accelerated by months or years. Innovation and Risk Mitigation Implement innovative solutions to technically challenging problems that reduce risks while lowering costs and shortening schedules. Trusted Partnership CM/GC collaborative processes build a foundation of trust and transparency, resulting in a strong partnership between owner, designer, and contractor.
