Construction management offers several benefits over traditional fixed-price construction contracts. Some of the key advantages include:

QUALITY ASSURANCE

Focus on Quality - Emphasis on cost transparency leads to better quality throughout, as the focus is on actual costs rather than cutting corners to maximize profit.

Expert Management -Professional construction managers ensure high standards and efficient project execution.

TRANSPARENCY

Detailed Cost Breakdown - Clients see a clear breakdown of all costs, including materials, labour, and other expenses, along with the management fee.

Trust Building - Transparency fosters trust between the client and the construction manager.

COST SAVINGS

Competitive Subcontracting -Construction managers can competitively bid out subcontractor work, potentially reducing costs.

Efficient Management - Efficient project management can lead to cost savings through better scheduling and resource allocation.

Lower Costs – Strong relationships between the construction management company and suppliers result in substantial price discounts that are directly passed on to the client.

FLEXIBILITY

Scope Adjustments - Easier to accommodate changes in project scope or design without the need for renegotiating the entire contract.

 Material Choices - Clients can choose higher-quality or more affordable materials as needed, with costs clearly outlined.

COST CONTROL

 Real-Time Budgeting - Clients can monitor expenses in real-time and make informed decisions to keep the project within budget.

 No Markups- Since costs are passed directly to the client, there are no incentives for contractors to inflate prices.

ENHANCED COMMUNICATION

Regular Updates - Clients receive regular updates on progress and expenditures, enhancing communication and reducing misunderstandings.

Involvement - Clients are more involved indecision-making processes, leading to higher satisfaction.

RISK MANAGEMENT

Collaborative Solutions - Risks associated with cost overruns are visible to both the client and the construction manager, leading to more collaborative problem-solving.

Reduced Contingencies - Less need for large contingency funds since costs are managed and monitored continuously.
