About the Product
This article summarizes and addresses the nuances of the construction manager's role, responsibilities and relationship with the design team (owner and its consultants) during the pre-design and pre-construction phases of a construction project. It examines several areas of potential liability that a construction manager should take into account upon entering into an agreement to provide pre-construction services. Information is organized by the logical process of a construction project, outlining the tasks that a construction manager should undertake at each phase, as well as those that are best left to the owner or to consultants.
The article also includes downloadable model agreements and a convenient checklist to use when drafting or reviewing agreements for pre-construction services.
