CMAR consists of a preconstruction phase and a construction phase with separate contracts for each phase. During the preconstruction phase, the successful Construction Manager (CM) will collaborate with the architect on the design, constructability, cost and schedule of the project and develop a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) proposal to construct the project. Upon the Trustees acceptance of the GMP the Trustees will issue a contract to the CM for the construction phase.
