Construction Management at Risk

Construction Management at Risk (CMAR) is a project delivery method in which the construction manager commits to delivering a project within a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP). This approach provides the owner with a single point of accountability, while allowing for early involvement of the construction manager during the design phase to enhance cost control, constructability, and schedule performance.

We approach CMAR projects with a proven track record of collaboration and accountability. Our team works closely with owners, architects, and engineers to align design intent with budget, mitigate risks early, and deliver a high-quality product on time. We prioritize communication, transparency, and value-driven solutions throughout the project lifecycle. By integrating our experienced construction professionals into the design process, we bring real-time pricing, constructability insight, and schedule intelligence to the table, from concept through completion.

Key Advantages

Early Collaboration
The construction manager is brought on during the design process, enabling proactive input on materials, methods, sequencing, and logistics. This leads to better informed decisions and fewer surprises during construction.
Cost Control
Through preconstruction services such as cost estimating, value engineering, and lifecycle analysis, the CM helps establish realistic budgets and ensures alignment with the owner’s financial goals.
Schedule Efficiency
With input during design and procurement planning, the CM can fast-track certain project components, overlap phases, and optimize construction sequencing.
Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP)
Before construction begins, the CM provides a GMP that reflects the complete scope of work. This cap limits the owner's financial exposure and shifts cost overrun risk to the CM.
Transparency
The CMAR process is typically open-book, providing the owner with visibility into all costs, including subcontractor bids, material costs, and general conditions.
OUR FOCUS ON

Safety

The well-being of our employees, subcontractors, and clients is our top priority, and we are committed to maintaining a safe and secure work environment on every job site. Our comprehensive safety program goes beyond policies in a manual. It’s embedded in how we operate every day.

We hold our employees to the highest safety standards and require our subcontractors to do the same. This includes strict adherence to safety procedures, best practices, and company-wide policies designed to prevent accidents and ensure compliance with industry regulations.
