There
are many advantages to construction
management. Some of these are: |
|
Contractor Input - The experience of the General
Contractor and Sub-Contractors is used to aid design
and to maximize cost effectiveness.
|
|
Sub-Contractor Selection - Sub-
Contractors are selected by the tendering
process, ensuring fair and competitive
pricing. The Owner has control over
who will construct his building. He is
able to determine that the type of
workmanship, project scheduling, supervisory
personnel, etc. are in line with his
expectations. He will not have to face
the consequences of Sub-Contractors obtained
by the low bid procedure. |
|
Design Cost Reduced - Due to the fact
that the project is not tendered, part of
the cost of producing a tender package and
elaborate specification is eliminated. |
|
Project is Fast Tracked - Due to the
fact that the project does not need to be
tendered, the time it takes to get the
project underway can be reduced
significantly. |
|
Reduced Conflict - Since the Contractor
is involved in all the stages of design,
misunderstandings regarding the intent of
the drawings and the end product of the
design are eliminated. The design and
construction elements of the team work
together for the Owner’s benefit. |
|
Better Product - The above items reduce
conflict, reduce errors and ensure excellent
tradesmen. This produces a high
quality finished product. |
|
Budget Control
- A maximum upset price for the project can
be developed early in the design stage and
carried through into the construction stage
ensuring that your project is completed
within budget.
