Specifications include, but are not limited to: The Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) shall actively participate as a member of the project team with the University and the Architect of Record beginning with Programming, design concept and constructability reviews and construction cost estimating at the end of the Schematic Design phase and continuing through construction and commissioning of the project. The purpose of these pre-construction and construction responsibilities is to provide the expertise necessary to ensure that the program objectives are realized and the project budget and schedule are met, resulting in an integrated project delivery value engineered for the best value to UNM. UNM requires a dynamic, ongoing estimating and constructability effort, in addition to that provided at project design milestones, to coincide with the development of the design and documents. Estimating and constructability reviews will be an ongoing effort. The design phase will be fast-paced and UNM will need ‘real-time’ feed-back. The CMAR Contractor is a an integral part of the team and carries a leadership role in estimating and constructability review efforts, requiring early and active participation. The highest degree of professional effort is expected to optimize the process.
