Analyses IntroductionAnalysis

Owner’s perception of construction management

Goal

Determine owner’s current perceptions of construction managers and their value on projects

Method

Two questionnaires, one general, one project specific

Expected Results

• Determination of owner’s perception of CM value, especially during design

• Find areas where CMs add value to projects

• Find variables that effect CM performance

LEED AnalysisLEED Analysis

Building Façade Building Façade AnalysisAnalysis

ConclusionsConclusions

Owner’s Perception of CMCMs involvement on Ventana

• Early involvement for input on foundation system, other early design decisions

• Separated from project during redesign from apartments to condominiums

• Rejoined project after GMP document completion

• Extensive value engineering input after design completion

Result:

• Delay in the beginning of construction of at least 6 to 7 months

• Cost to the owner of hundreds of thousands of dollars in financing costs, rising cost of materials

LEED AnalysisWhat is LEED?

LEED was created to:• define "green building" by establishing a

common standard of measurement • promote integrated, whole-building design

practices • recognize environmental leadership in the

building industry • stimulate green competition • raise consumer awareness of green building

benefits transform the building market
