Construction Management
THE BUILDER IS YOUR AGENT
With CD Barnes’ Construction Management, the contractor becomes, in essence, an interim member of your staff, acting solely in your interest. Typically, you pay the construction manager a project fee. Depending on your preference, you may pay architects and subcontractors directly, or the contractor may pay them on your behalf. This arrangement offers you day-to-day control over the project, minimizes demands on your time, and, of course, can save you money.
​

CLEAR LINES OF AUTHORITY
As your agent, the Construction Manager represents your interests exclusively. There is no pressure to make a profit or meet an unrealistic bid. Architects, engineers, and subcontractors all know that the Construction Manager is acting as your representative. This clear line of authority can help enhance efficiency and teamwork.
​
IS CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT RIGHT FOR YOU?
The Construction Management method tends to yield faster turnaround and smoother sailing than traditional General Contracting.
In contrast to the Design/Build method (in which the construction firm assumes responsibility for the entire project), the Construction Management firm simply acts as your agent.
