Construction Manager Contracting Process

The Project Manager coordinates with the Contracts Administrator, client representative, and a number of the first ranked Construction Management firms to establish a date to negotiate.
A letter requesting staffing, bonding, insurance, overhead and profit information is sent to the Construction Manager (from Building Construction) before the negotiation date. This up front preparation and exchange of information shortens the negotiations period, thus the construction process can begin sooner and reduce the cost of the project.
