CM AS AN AGENT

As an Agent Project Management Associates retains the authority to act as the owner, allowing the owner to step back from the project.

As the Agent, Project Management Associates assumes financial authority for the project and utilizes it's depth of experience in managing all fiscal aspects of a project in order to maximize the return of the owner's capital investment. Additional value to the owner is the single-point of contact, responsibility, and ease of how the project can be tracked.

In this role Project Management Associates' services are contracted prior to the completion of design and acts as the project coordinator and general contractor. As CM-constructor Project Management Associates assumes all the liability and responsibility of the general contractor and most commonly is described as CM-at-risk. This is an excellent solution proposition for projects that need to be fast tracked, or to owner's for whom cost, schedule, or construction implementation would be difficult to manage.
