Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR)
CMAR Approach
The CMAR procedure unites Owner, Architect and General Contractor as a cohesive team with the understanding of setting aside personal interests and embracing each other's skill sets in order to accomplish a successful project. SDB has welcomed this concept of project collaboration since the CMAR alternate delivery method was introduced. Working in tandem with the Owner and Architect, SDB will take an early role in assisting the team during all phases of the project. Our philosophy is in alignment with the CMAR philosophy that collaboration, communication and accountability will lead to the overall project success.
