Construction Management

With the Construction Management delivery method, Creative Structures becomes actively involved early in the process, collaborating with the architect and owner to shape the project’s design and schedule while helping to control costs. As a construction manager (CM), we provide comprehensive pre-construction services that culminate in a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP), which can often be established as early as the design development phase. Our team thoroughly reviews incomplete documents to identify potential gaps or conflicts, consults with owners about their preferences for vendors and project partners, and works closely with subcontractors to competitively bid or negotiate contracts. This approach ensures project continuity, optimal pricing, and consistently high-quality results.

What is CM?

CM stands for Construction Management or Construction Manager, a professional service or person that oversees a project’s planning, design, and construction to control costs, time, and quality. CM acts as a representative for the owner, managing contractors, minimizing risk, and ensuring project goals are met. 

Key Aspects of CM:

Role: A CM often provides input during the design phase (constructability reviews, cost estimation) and manages the construction phase (site inspections, safety compliance).

Goal: To deliver projects on time, within budget, and to the expected quality standard.
