PROFESSIONAL AGENCY CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT

A form of construction management performed in a defined relationship between the CM and Owner. The agency form of construction management establishes a specific role of the CM acting as the Owner's principal agent in connection with the project/program. Contracts with the building contractors are typically held directly with the Owner. The CM may or may not be allowed to bid on portions of the work. This is the most commonly used type of CM services used by Public Owners. Some state and federal agencies will only recognize this type of contractual relationship.
