Construction Manager Selection

• Basis of Alternative Approach
• Communication is key to successful project
  delivery
• Poor communication leads to cost overruns,
  delayed schedules, and numerous changes

• Goal of Proposed Alternative
• Improve overall communication
• Reduce cost overruns, delayed project delivery,
  and design changes

Research Means Methods

• Research Means
• Alternative approach very feasible and appealing
  to construction managers
• Owners do not recognize benefit and value of a
  construction manager during the design process
• Research survey and interview questions
  developed and distributed to industry members
• Research Goal To determine the value of a
  construction manager in design

• Research Methods
• 18 question online survey distributed to
  approximately 52 industry members (19
  architects, 7 owners, 22 construction managers, 4
  general contractors)
• Interview questions distributed to 8
  individuals (Two of each discipline)

• Research Results
• 25 responses to online survey (7 architects, 2
  owners, 12 CMs, 4 GCs)

Conclusion
Summary and Conclusions

• Reducing the Impact of Phasing
• Utilize the knowledge and expertise of a
  construction manager early in the design process
• Investigate temporary structures to limit the
  alteration of the final design and to reduce the
  complexity of the future construction
• Early CM involvement could also allow for early
  involvement of key subcontractors and allow for
  the use of 4-D modeling

• Impact of Phased Construction
• Requires a great deal of planning and
  communication between design and construction
• Potential for extensive over-design of project
  components to accommodate temporary loads
