Characteristics Of Project Delivery Methodes AHPP Figure 9.2
I will paraphrase the figure. Questions will be found below.
Included are Project delivery type, Primary Driver, Secondary Driver, Construction Cost Determined, Number of Construction Contracts.
DBB - Cost, Risk, After Design, One
Negotiated Select Team - Quality, Cost, After Design, One
Cost Plus Fixed Fee - Scope (No Secondary Driver), At Completion, One
CM-Adviser - Risk, Quality, N/A, Many
CM-Agent - Risk, Time, At Completion, Many
CM-Constructor - Time, (Secondary's are Cost & Risk), After Design, One
DB Standard - Risk, Cost, Before Design, One
DB Bridging - Risk, Quality, After Design, One
Can someone please explain why CM Adviser and CM Agent both have "many" Construction Contracts?
And Why the Cost of Construction determined component of CM Adviser is Not Applicable?
I'll start with this. I may have a few more questions and I'll add them as they come to me.
Thank you community!

Hi Pierre!
I recommend you to take a look at this doc: https://www.agc.org/sites/default/files/Files/Programs%20%26%20Industry%20Relations/AIA-AGC_Primer_on_Project_Delivery_2nd_Edition-FINAL.pdf?fbclid=IwAR1PvD6eQxe3dcC6fgj0yUkxIuGT8050UXD-LwRhi3vjvXOm4rb5M132IJo
It really helped me to understand project delivery methods. I found really interesting that the article considers CM-adviser a form of project management and not a real project delivery method. It also explains that there are many definitions for the delivery methods and none of them is entirely right or entirely wrong...
To me the definitions for CM aviser and CM agent from Ballast and AHPP are confusing and even a little mixed up..
Anyway, I concluded that the CM-adviser will just advise on the constructability of the design as it is developed but will not be the actual contractor. That's why the cost estimated won't be applicable... (although the adviser can help to provide estimates, they won't be 100% accurate).
Regarding the multiple contracts, it probably refers to fast track. Fast track requires many contracts and a lot of coordination, so it is most commonly used when a CM is involved.
Hope this helps!
