Contract Delivery Method

Construction Management (CM)

This delivery method entails a commitment by the CM for construction performance to deliver the project within a defined schedule and price, either a fixed lump sum or a guaranteed maximum price (GMP). The CM provides construction input to the owner during the design phases and becomes the general contractor during the construction phase.

Cost Plus

This agreement allows the contractor to be reimbursed for the actual cost of construction plus a negotiated fixed percentage fee or lump sum. The contractor guarantees that the agreed-upon price will not be exceeded. In addition, any additional costs above the guaranteed maximum price are borne by the contractor. If costs are lower than the guaranteed maximum price, savings can be shared between the owner and contractor at a predetermined percentage.

Lump Sum

Lump Sum contracting, also called Fixed Price, is when an owner contracts with an entity to perform a fixed scope of work in exchange for an agreed lump sum payment for the specified services. This method is one of the most commonly used.

Design-Build

This method of project delivery includes one entity (design-builder) and a single contract with the owner to provide both architectural/engineering design services and construction.
