Delivery Methods

Construction Management

Early Insight,
Risk Protection

Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) is Shook Construction’s most widely used delivery method for addressing complex projects where early contractor involvement and cost certainty are key. With the CMAR method, the owner contracts separately with an architect or engineering firm for the design phase with Shook Construction acting as a constructability consultant then overseeing all construction and trade partner work.

Unlike traditional delivery methods, the CMAR approach provides a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) for construction services, with the construction manager assuming the risk of potential cost overruns.
