Managing Construction Series (MCS)...
Through the synergy of multi-disciplinary experts offering decades of experience from the perspectives of Project Owner, Consultant and Contractor you will receive exceptional feedback, great insight and actionable strategies!
Project success takes more than just understanding what is “written” in your contract; it’s about leveraging key requirements from start to finish!
Construction Management (CM) is a great solution if done well! CM is about building a collaborative team from the outset of the project. The team is comprised of the Project Owner, Consultant and Contractors to address the key areas of functional requirements, time, cost, quality, and constructability.
Whether you are the Project Owner, Consultant, General Contractor or Subcontractor, you need to understand your CM roles and responsibilities throughout all project phases: predesign, design, project delivery and post construction.
You also need to be well versed in the CM project drivers and concepts in order to fulfil your contractual responsibilities and achieve success. A well-orchestrated CM project drives success for all partners.
From a team of industry partners’ perspectives, you will:
- Gain an understanding of the CM process.
- Recognize when to use CM as a delivery method.
- Learn the roles of each partner for collaborative success
- Determine when and how to procure CM services
- Identify tools and techniques to optimize CM performance
- Grasp the nuances of the different forms of CM contracts – CCDC 5A+5B
- Understand the duties assigned and compensation for Preconstruction, Construction and Post-Construction in the CCDC 5A+5B
- Practice the key elements to focus on for project success
- Apply the learned knowledge to establish the Construction Manager’s compensation.
- Discuss the pros and cons for conversion to consolidated pricing
- Acquire critical insights into the challenges with the CM delivery method
