Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR)
Maximizing Value. Minimizing Risk. A collaborative delivery method with a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP).
Cost Certainty & Collaborative Control
The Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) delivery method is designed for owners who prioritize budget security and schedule acceleration. In this model, Concur Construction acts as a consultant during the design phase and as the general contractor during construction.
By engaging us early, we provide "Real-Time" cost estimating and constructability reviews. Before construction begins, we commit to a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP). This shifts the financial risk from you to us, ensuring your project stays within budget while maintaining the highest quality standards.
- Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP): We absorb the cost overruns if the scope remains unchanged.
- Open-Book Accounting: Full transparency on all subcontractor bids and material costs.
- Schedule Optimization: Construction can begin before the final design is 100% complete.
Why Choose CMAR?
This model creates a partnership focused on the project's success rather than a conflict over low-bid limitations.
Early Collaboration
Concur Construction joins the team during the design phase. We work alongside your architect to identify potential issues, suggest cost-saving alternatives (Value Engineering), and optimize the schedule before the shovel hits the dirt.
Risk Mitigation
The "At Risk" designation means we hold the trade contracts and bear the burden of performance. We manage the subcontractors, safety compliance, and schedule adherence, shielding the owner from typical construction liabilities.
Transparent Savings
Because CMAR operates on an open-book basis, any savings realized under the GMP can be returned to the owner or reinvested into additional project features. You see exactly where every dollar goes.
