Construction Management is a progressive, more "convenient" method of construction project administration. The Owner has only one direct contract, the Construction Manager. The Contractor becomes a subcontractor to the Construction Manager (Consultant). The Owner is not bothered by having to make every decision and may realize a time reduction in the completion of the job. Finally, the Owner’s accounts payable department only has to deal with one company.
