Identify at least three characteristics that make the construction project unique from other industry sector projects.

Each construction project built is one‐of‐a‐kind, Building process occurs outside, majority of work is done by human hand

Name the four primary project values to be managed, monitored, and controlled

time, cost, quality, and safety

Agency CM vs. CM at risk

at-risk is financially invested and in decision phase, agency oversees everything

What is fast-tracking

speeds up the completion of a construction project by overlapping the design and construction processes

The three basic ways in which a design‐build entity may be configured

Contractor and the designer create an informal contract for a project, to have a full‐service design‐build firm in which the designers and the contractors work for the same company, or to establish a legal joint venture between the designer and contractor

Identify the 10 functions of construction management.
