CM contracting is replacing traditional construction contracting on many projects—from the largest public and private jobs to home improvement work. Traditional construction practice (owner, prime contractor and subcontractor) has disadvantages that every traditional general contractor knows all too well:

• Risk of loss
• Negative cash flow
• Warranty claims
• Oppressive regulation
• Disputes with subs and suppliers
• Slow pay
• Code compliance
• Failed inspections

Modern construction managers leave these problems to others—avoiding the worst headaches while delivering good value to their clients.
