CM at Risk
PROS
• Flexibility in selecting a builder
• CM provides preconstruction
services and works in team
concept with A/E & Owner
• Usually brought on early in
design (program/SD)
• Constructability reviews at
each stage of documents
• Opportunity to phase/fast track
• Better opportunity to maximize
HUB/MBE subcontractor
participation through bid
package strategic initiatives
• Opportunity for bid strategies
on inflationary materials
• Reduces the risk of
proprietary specifications
• Change flexibility
CONS
• Price is not guaranteed at time
of selection
• Owner must have more
involvement in the process
• Difficult to evaluate actual cost
between CM at Risk
candidates

CM at Risk Lessons Learned
• The best performers at CM at Risk are the same
best performers at CSP and hard bid.
• State procurement laws may vary the process.
o Example: For Texas, 100% CDs and public subcontractor proposals
on each package are required prior to any real work.
o It is more work, not less for the Architect and Contractor.
• Allow adequate time for review and approval of the
Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP).
• Allow adequate time for the subcontractor selection
process by the CM and Owner approval

CM at Risk Lessons Learned
• Agree on the subcontractor selection criteria and
process early.
• The project design must be sufficiently advanced
to have accurate general conditions proposals in
the RFP.
• Clearly define what is to be included and
excluded from “general conditions” in the RFP.
• Lump sum general conditions - not cost plus.
o The most issues/problems.
o 90% of contract administrator or Owner’s representative’s time on
5% of cost.

CM at Risk Lessons Learned
• Draft a total project schedule, not just a
construction schedule.
• Give the CM the entire project budget. Tell the
CM what parts it is responsible for.
• Add example schedule, decision milestones

Pick the Right Delivery Method
• Before starting the selection process, determine
which delivery method will provide “best value”
• Factors to consider (add more):
o
o
o
o
o
Project size and complexity
Time allocated for the construction
Competitiveness of the current/local construction market
Desired flexibility
Availability of contractors and subcontractors in the local market
• After deciding on key factors, evaluate the various
delivery methods and formally adopt the method you
deem “best value.”
