More In-depth Definition of Construction Management at Risk

Construction Management at Risk (CMAR) is a project delivery method where the construction manager commits to delivering the project within a guaranteed maximum price (GMP). The construction manager is involved early in the design process, providing input on cost estimates and construction methods. This approach allows for better risk management, cost control, and collaboration between the owner, designer, and construction manager.
