چکیده
Construction Management (CM) has been widely used in the United States and sometimes in Australia. However, it is a relatively new procurement method for Asian countries. The system is based on the arrangement where a client appoints a Construction Manager on a fee basis to manage and co-ordinate the design and construction phases of a project. The Construction Manager becomes a member of the professional team, contracting to manage rather than to build. The client enters into direct contracts with contractors for construction works.
