Which models are utilized in the CM at Risk delivery method?

The CM at Risk (Construction Management at Risk) delivery method involves a collaborative approach where the construction manager is involved early in the project’s design phase, which allows for a seamless integration of various models throughout the project's life cycle.

The Design Model represents the conceptual and detailed designs of the project, ensuring that all specifications and requirements are met. The Construction Model encompasses aspects of the build process, incorporating scheduling, sequencing, and other logistical elements essential for execution. The Project Model takes a holistic view of the entire project, facilitating management of timelines, costs, and resources throughout the life of the project. Lastly, the Federated Model combines multiple disciplines' models into one cohesive model, providing a comprehensive overview that helps in detecting clashes, enhancing collaboration, and making informed decisions.

By incorporating all these models, CM at Risk promotes effective communication and efficiency in project delivery, addressing potential issues before they arise and helping maintain alignment between design intentions and construction realities. This integration of multiple models is pivotal for the success of the project under the CM at Risk method, highlighting the importance of a collaborative approach throughout the design and construction processes.
