PJM Practice Exam Q21
An architect is working on a large project with a construction manager (CM) as-contractor. All designers and engineers have been retained and the design is approximately 50% complete. Due to the size of the project, the CM is unable to secure a bond for the entire contracted project. Smaller construction contracts will be necessary. The owner and architect want all design and construction team members to continue in their current roles.
Which delivery method should the architect recommend to the owner?
| A. | Design-build |
| B. | CM as-advisor |
| C. | Multiple prime |
| D. | Design-bid-build |
The correct answer is B. Does that mean the the current CM as-contractor would switch roles to a CM as-advisor?
-
Yes! And I think this would mean that the owner would assume more risk, since there's no general contractor. If the scenario stated that the owner was "risk adverse" the answer would be different.
