Construction Management

In construction management the owner contracts with an architect-engineer for construction project design and with a construction management firm consulting , procurement, contract letting, and construction administration services. In so doing, a construction team is created consisting of the owner, the architect-engineer, and the construction manager （CM ）. The

objective of this approach is to treat construction project planning, design, and construction as integrated tasks within a construction system. The CM works with the owner and the architect-engineer from the beginning of design until construction project completion, providing leadership to the construction team in all matters pertaining to construction. Adherence to construction schedules and budget constraints is the CM's prime responsibility.

During the design phase, the CM advises with respect to performance criteria, construction feasibility of alternative building systems, site conditions, site conditions, and availability of materials and labor. I nformation pertaining to trade jurisdictions and temporary job facilities is also provided. W here long lead-time machinery, equipment, or materials are needed ,

the CM will make arrangements for their procurement and delivery. D uring the design process, the CM prepares preliminary, interim, and final construction project budgets and construction tracking and phased construction are frequently used on construction projects of this type. T he construction manager handles the bidding and contract award process whereby work is contracted out to a succession of constructors as the various design phases are finalized. T he CM usually does not perform significant construction work with his own forces.

During construction operations, the CM assumes responsibility for the supervision coordination, and administration of the construction project. Of top importance in this regard are coordinating the work of the separate contractors, checking the actual progress of the construction project against an established time schedule, and exercising every effort to keep the cost of the work within the approved budget. Also often involved are quality control, safety, progress payments, contract changes, claims, expediting, shop drawings , acceptance testing, and other elements of construction administration. The extent of services to be provided by the CM can be tailored to suit the individual owner’s requirements.

Two different types of construction management contracts can be used. Under one type, the CM is made the agent of the owner. All actions of the CM, such as purchasing, contracting, disbursement, and construction supervision, are carried out in the name of and on behalf of the owner. Under principles of agency, the owner is fully responsible for the actions of the CM. A nother type of management contract is that in which the CM is engaged as an independent contractor . I n this case his actions are taken in his own name and on his own responsibility. The CM is liable for his own actions and remains responsible for the work until its completion and acceptance by the owner. Public owners cannot ordinarily make the CM their agent. Private owners, on the other hand, can and normally do in practice ⅠChoose the best answer according to the text. （8分） 1.The primary responsibility of the CM is___________ A.
