Benefits of CMAR
Hiring a construction manager at-risk (CMAR or CM at Risk) provides the advantage of early involvement in the project, allowing for better coordination, cost control, and input during the design phase, which can result in cost savings and schedule efficiencies. Additionally, it shifts the risk of cost overruns and delays from the owner to the construction manager, fostering a collaborative approach to problem-solving and project delivery.
