Construction Management vs General Contractor
One of the first choices made after deciding to initiate a construction project is the structure of the relationships. The two most common forms are construction management and a general contractor. Regardless which one you choose, Pass Construction has the expertise to manage your project successfully.
Both relationship structures have their advantages but first a quick understanding of the roles each play below.
Construction Management
One of the biggest advantages of working with a construction manager is the ability to be brought in early and work with your design team to shape the project consistent with budget and time constraints.
Another benefit is the construction manager represents the owner, has an open book policy, and minimizes any conflict of interest.
With guidance from the construction manager, having contracts directly with all contractors and suppliers provides more accountability and control over the outcome.
General Contractor
A general contractor will require plans and specifications to provide an accurate estimate.
The benefit to this project structure is that the owner has less involvement day to day, and a single source to gather information.
