“ Construction management at-risk is seen by many policy-makers and legislators as an innovative approach to public sector project delivery. The CM at risk delivery method is an alternative procurement process similar to long-standing private sector construction contracting. CM at-risk is a cost effective and time conscious alternative to the traditional design-bid-build process. ” -AIA Washington DC, 2005
“ A project delivery method is fundamentally a people method because people remain the most valuable construction resource. The success or failure of any delivery method depends upon the performance, trust, and cooperation among the parties. ” -AGC, Project Delivery Methods for Construction, 2011
