Abstract

Construction Management at Risk (CMAR) is a project delivery method that enables CM companies to deliver projects at a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP). General contractors can apply CMAR from the initial design phase right through the construction phase to reduce risks and improve project performance. One of the major advantages CMAR offers is that it permits a general contractor to provide a comprehensive suite of preconstruction services, including estimating, a constructability review, value engineering, drawings and a specification review, green building, and Building Information Modeling(BIM), among others. However, general contractors in South Korea currently provide only limited preconstruction services using CMAR because few CMAR projects have yet been implemented in Korea and their experience using the method is therefore limited. This benchmark study of how foreign general contractors utilize CMAR in their projects, particularly during the preconstruction process, its purpose, and the roles and responsibilities of each of the different participants in successful implementations thus provides invaluable information and will serve as a useful guide for Korean contractors seeking to incorporate CMAR preconstruction services in their projects and thus improve the competitiveness of their construction businesses.

책임형 CM(CM at Risk)은 CM회사가 최대공사비보증을 통해 프로젝트를 제공하는 프로젝트 발주 방식 중 하나이다. 종합건설업체는 리스크를 줄이고 프로젝트의 성과를 향상시키기 위해 초기 설계 단계부터 시공단계까지 책임형 CM을 적용할 수 있다. 책임형 CM의 주요 장점 중 하나는 종합건설업체가 견적, 도면 및 시방서 검토, 시공성 검토, 가치공학, 친환경, BIM 등을 포함하는 포괄적인 시공이전단계의 서비스를 제공한다는 것이다. 그러나 국내에서는 책임형 CM 프로젝트가 거의 수행되지 않아 경험이 부족한 국내 종합건설업체는 현재 한정적인 시공이전단계 서비스만을 제공하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 해외 선진 종합건설업체는 프로젝트에서 책임형 CM을 어떻게 활용하고 있는지, 특히 시공이전단계 프로세스와 그에 대한 목적, 성공적인 수행을 위한 각 참여자들의 역할과 책임에 대해 벤치마킹 연구를 통해 중요한 정보를 제공한다. 이를 통해, 건설 사업 경쟁력을 높이기 위해 책임형 CM을 프로젝트에 도입하려는 국내 건설업체들에게 가이드 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
