Construction Management

Arete can serve you as a construction manager under a CM Agreement. Whether it is a standard Construction Management Agreement, an At-Risk Agreement, or acting as your owner’s representative we we act as your agent and administer the work of your project on your behalf.

A standard Construction Management Agreement allows you to contract directly with the subcontractors which has the potential to save you money but exposes you to risk. Construction Management Agreements can also be written with lowered risk, depending on your desired scope of service.

In these agreements, called At-Risk Agreements, the construction manager contracts directly with all construction contractors and assumes the risk for delivering the project. We assist you in the development of an agreement that focuses on achieving your goals and objectives.

Our experience and knowledge in construction make us your best choice for managing your project. After all, construction management is really the basis for all the work we do.

Advantages to construction management include increased coordination between the design team, the subcontractors, and the owner resulting in fewer disputes, claims, and delays.

Time and cost savings are also realized through compressed schedules throughout the design/construction process.
