Whatever happened to construction management
Clark, P
Whatever happened to construction management - 2001 - Building 266(8184) 11 May 2001, 36-37(2) .
Considers the recent trend of clients moving away from construction management (CM) as a procurement method. Suggests that clients including J Sainsbury, CIT and Schal, have dropped CM because it cannot offer price certainty, and they no longer want to manage subcontractors. CM has also become less popular due to a lack of complex projects suited to CM. Outlines situations where CM is still a good option and areas where it is likely to fail.
