When your project demands cost certainty, tight schedules, and trusted leadership from the ground up, Codaray’s Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) service delivers. As your CMAR partner, we take full responsibility for managing construction risk, performance, and outcomes—so you don’t have to.
Unlike advisory-only roles, the CMAR model gives you a dedicated construction partner who collaborates early, provides preconstruction services, and ultimately guarantees cost, schedule, and quality.
What is Construction Manager at Risk?
In the CMAR delivery model, Codaray enters into a contractual agreement to deliver your project at a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP). We provide preconstruction services during design, then transition into full construction management once construction begins—holding trade contracts, coordinating all field operations, and delivering your project with end-to-end accountability.
Our CMAR Services Include:
- Early budgeting and cost modeling
- Value engineering and constructability input
- Schedule and logistics planning
- Phasing and site coordination
- GMP development and contract packaging
- Trade contractor and supplier management
- Quality, safety, and schedule oversight
- Change and contingency management
- Transparent cost tracking and reporting
- Weekly updates and milestone alignment
- Coordination with owner, designers, and users
- Clear turnover and commissioning
Why Choose CMAR?
GMP Cost Certainty
You’ll receive a Guaranteed Maximum Price backed by competitive trade contractor bids and a disciplined buyout strategy.
Integrated Teamwork
We partner closely with your architects and engineers, creating a seamless transition from design to build with aligned expectations across the board.
Single Point of Responsibility
We assume both construction and cost risk—freeing you from managing multiple contractors or resolving finger-pointing between design and build teams. Early Engagement = Better Decisions.
Codaray is involved from day one, helping you optimize design, manage costs, and avoid delays long before construction begins.
IDEAL FOR:
Commercial developers requiring schedule control and budget predictability
Institutional owners managing complex renovations or phased construction
Clients with tight timelines or high stakeholder visibility
Projects requiring deep logistics planning (e.g. occupied campuses, urban sites)
WHY CODARAY
We bring decades of construction experience, disciplined cost controls, and a proactive leadership approach that consistently delivers results. As your CMAR partner, we don’t just build—we anticipate, solve, and lead.
