Construction Management

Construction Management (CM) solutions apply renowned management techniques to the planning, design, and construction of each project from inception to completion. This helps improve the timing, cost, and quality of every project. 

CM provides our clients with the best of both worlds, incorporating the advantages of professional CM delivery with the know-how of a general contractor. Clifford Buck Construction takes complete responsibility over the trade contractors, minimizing risk for our clients. First, our estimating team will work with our superintendents to translate and construction documents into comprehensive categories and descriptions. Then, our estimating team works with designers and builders early on to save time and money during the project.

CM is typically the best method for building within occupied environments or highly complex projects. When utilizing the CM delivery method, we recommend:

• Engaging your CM early to maximize the benefits of pre-construction planning
• Selecting on best-value, not low price. The right CM can save you far more than their fee!
• Utilizing the ‘At-Risk’ Method, protecting the owner with a guaranteed maximum price
• Utilizing a CM offering self-performance ability ensuring budgeting accuracy and schedule insurance

The scope of CM services should be tailored to your specific needs and goals. The construction management fee is can be negotiated as a flat fee or percentage of contract and can vary depending on the scope and project requirements.
