Construction Management

Construction management is intricate and includes a number of highly skilled processes from inception to completion. METCO understands the importance of managing and negotiating with a number of sub-contractors working on a project and balancing the needs of cost, scope and schedule for successful project execution.

What is Construction Management?

Construction management is the overall management of any construction site. The process ensures that a project is being completed in accordance with safety codes without any city ordinance violation.

The process of construction management

The project owner invites contractors, general contractors, or subcontractors to solicit bids. The bid includes a cost estimate from blueprints and material take-offs, and the contractors propose the amount at which they will offer their services to complete the project.
There are two kinds of bids:

The contractor’s selection focuses on the amount of criteria e.g. the best value selection, lowest bid and qualification. The best value selection includes the price of the bid and qualifications of the contractor.
In the next step, a payment agreement is negotiated. The contract can either be lump-sum where the owner pays the full amount for the work irrespective of the end-result or if the final bill surpasses the initial quoted price or it can be cost-plus-fee payment where the total cost of the project and a percentage of the total cost must be paid by the owner. If the contractor and owner disagree on the cost, the owner shall pay a certain amount at each stage of the project which is known as the unit price.
