What Is a Certified Construction Manager & What Do They Do?
A Certified Construction Manager helps owners ensure the successful outcome of their projects. They proactively manage the details to achieve cost, schedule, and quality objectives on construction projects. A Certified Construction Manager (CCM) is an individual who has met the requirements of the Construction Management Association of America (CMAA).
Because the (CMAA) is a body of construction management professionals, having that group standing behind you will give your clients confidence that you can deliver the construction management services they need. This accreditation falls under the International Organization for Standardization’s ISO-17024 standard. A CCM has gone one step further than most industry professionals by becoming a proven leader in the construction industry.
Why should you hire a CCM?
Increase your Marketability and Competitive Advantage: Having a CCM helps you stand out and showcase your experience being responsible in charge of Construction Management services and that you can provide resolutions towards your clients’ best interests and complete a project successfully.
The ultimate goal of a CCM is to make sure the owner’s goals are met. Any construction project is incredibly complex and risky. A CCM should be hired at the beginning of the project so that proper planning and experience can prevent many costly problems.
A good CCM on the project from the start will ensure that:
- A reputable local architect is hired who has experience with local zoning boards, building codes, and review boards.
- Change orders are anticipated and properly handled. Unforeseen emergencies and unplanned upgrades are likely to occur, so they will plan for this in the overall budget.
- Contractors are hired for the project who are familiar with the local codes, zoning requirements, and licensing issues.
- Environmental factors that could have an impact are taken into consideration, such as a location in a flood zone.
- And in many cases even going “green”, which benefits the environment, the project, and the community.
