Notes

  1. 1.

    The Construction Manager at Risk with a Guaranteed Maximum Price form of project delivery allows an Owner to select a construction manager on the basis of qualifications and price; typically early in the project the design is not completed so the price selection is based on pre-construction services. When the design is more advanced, but still not complete, the construction manager provides a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) which provides a cost ceiling and a degree of cost protection for the Owner.

  2. 2.

    Analogous estimating uses similar or analogous projects, as a basis for developing a cost estimate. The cost of each comparable project is adjusted for location and date of construction to assist in determining a cost for the subject project.

  3. 3.

    The CSI 16 Division format was standard in the construction industry until 2004 and included 16 categories such as sitework, steel, woodwork, mechanical and electrical components of work.
