 Whilst Construction Management (CM)

has been out of favour over the last 5-6
risk-averse years, there appears to be
signs of its return.
 She further added “if I had a project now
and we were looking to procure it, then I
suspect CM would be one of the routes
we’d be considering.
What is Construction Management ?

professional service that applies
effective management techniques to
the planning, design and

Construction Management
Values
 Construction
Management is a
discipline and
management system
specifically created to
promote the
successful execution
of capital projects for
owners.
 These projects can
be highly complex.
Few owners maintain
the staff resources
necessary to pay
close, continuing
attention to every
detail; yet these
details can “make or
break” a project.
