THE CONSTRUCTION
MANAGEMENT
METHOD
OF BUILDING DELIVERY
The construction
manager, as the name implies, is a professional consultant who offers
its services for a predetermined fee, as opposed to a general contractor
who makes an entrepreneurial profit on the project it handles. As
the construction professional on the project team, the construction
manager works with the owner and the architect/engineers from the
beginning of the project through completion of construction. The
construction manager provides leadership on all matters relating
to construction, keeps the project team informed, and makes recommendations
on construction technology and economies.
Once the project budget and schedule have been established, the
construction manager monitors subsequent development of the project
to ensure that those targets are not exceeded without the knowledge
and concurrence of the owner. The construction manager reviews and
coordinates the bid package, oversees all bidding, writes the contracts
for the owner, manages procurement of material and supplies, coordinates
work of all trade contractors, assures conformance to design requirements,
provides current cost and progress information as the work proceeds,
and performs other construction-related services as required by
the owner.
The construction management method being recommended is one called
our Competitive Construction Services Program for the owner, with
a fiduciary duty to act in the owner's best interest, applying its
construction expertise to all phases of the construction process
for the benefit of the owner. The use of this construction manager/owner
relationship squarely places the construction manager as a skilled
ally working only in the owner's interests.
The construction management method of building delivery increases
in its value to the owner as the project becomes more complicated,
either by tight scheduling requirements, or multiple, highly integrated
prime contracts. It is not uncommon for our firm to manage in excess
of fifteen prime contracts and, sometimes, over thirty prime contracts
over the course of a project. The use of multiple prime contracts
affords the owner the opportunity of eliminating excess overhead
and profit which would normally be charged by a prime contractor
on its subcontractor's work. This savings is usually substantial
enough to offset the entire fee of the construction manager.
Areas of the construction process for which construction management
is particularly useful:
- Accountability
- Communication
- Problem Anticipation
- On site fiduciary
for the Owner
- Cost Control
- Scheduling
- Coordination
of Plans, Specifications and Construction Contracts

COMPETITIVE CONSTRUCTION SERVICES PROGRAM
The services supplied by our firm are supplied as agents for the
owner, working for a fee, with all contracts between the owner and
the Contractors as prime contracts. This form of construction management
is known as our "Competitive Construction Services Program"
and is considered the "pure" form of competitive CM.
As Construction Managers, the role of Marcobay Construction Inc.,
throughout the life of the project is consistent and offers the
lowest conflict of interest of any project delivery method.
In its fiduciary role, Marcobay Construction Inc., serves as an
adjunct member of the owner's staff and does not become engaged
in any other function of project delivery. Marcobay Construction
Inc., always commits to place the owner's interests above its own
during the execution of its work on behalf of the owner.
Once the project is at 90% complete in design, It is our belief
that as a construction manager and a general contractor simultaneously
we have the resources to offer the owner the strongest competitive
price for the construction with a detailed tabulated bid analysis
report of all project costs and schedule.
