Project owners place a huge responsibility for overall project success in the hands of the construction manager and in the construction management contract. The criticality of construction management is often overlooked by project owners/developers, as it is a relatively small agreement in terms of dollars and complexity when compared to the construction contracts. The construction manager, and contract, becomes the eyes and ears of the project owners during the most critical phase of a project.

A final complexity of the construction management agreement has to do with the details of how it relates to the actual construction contracts and the project owners/developers. Both the construction management contract and the construction contracts MUST have language in them that forms the basis of the relationship between the three critical partners in success; the project owners, the construction manager, and the constructors. TRA can work closely with you to insure that your construction management contracts, and managers, are an integral part of your project’s successful construction.
