Historically, most construction projects have relied on a design-bid-build setup. However, at WCC, we’re pleased to offer a modern, efficient alternative: the Construction Manager at Risk (CM at-risk). Here’s a closer look at what this role is, and how selecting a CM at-risk early in the project lifecycle can benefit your project.
The CM at-Risk Advantage
With a CM at-risk, you select the construction manager based on qualifications before the design stage is complete. This allows the entire project to be centralized under a single contract, where the construction manager and architect/engineer work closely together in a collaborative environment. The construction manager works with your interests in mind to ensure you get the desired outcome.
Why Choose WCC as Your CM at-Risk
WCC brings decades of experience in construction management, with a values-focused approach that guides all of our work. We believe in a relationship-centric approach based on honesty, transparency, and consistently delivering high-quality work. This has led to a strong track record of delivering projects on time and on budget in industries as diverse as church and ministry and food processing.
Enhanced Project Synergies
As a CM at-risk, WCC works closely with architects and engineers from the outset to refine and assess the design. Our goal is to ensure that all aspects of the task fully align with your vision and requirements. A more collaborative approach between the client, CM at-risk, and architect keeps everyone on the same page, which can eliminate miscommunications and speed up the project.
Guaranteed Maximum Price: Cost Transparency and Control
Another important aspect of using a CM at-risk is that you will be given a guaranteed maximum price for the job – meaning your project won’t exceed that set amount. This level of financial clarity and control minimizes your risks and can enhance the job’s cost-effectiveness. Transparency fosters trust and reduces adversarial relationships, eliminating bid shopping to create a more cohesive project team.
With a CM at-risk, you can enjoy greater efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and collaboration throughout the project. At WCC, we’re always ready to deliver high-quality, value-driven construction management services you can rely on.
