Construction management has been developed as an alternative to the traditional public building process and seeks to save an owner time and cost primarily through better activity coordination and project management. This report was developed to guide public agencies in their evaluation of construction management for their particular needs. It describes the several forms of construction management and provides a process that public administrations can use to determine whether and how they want to use construction management. Guidelines and a process are outlined for evaluating, selecting, and contracting to obtain construction management services. (Author/MLF)
