Construction Manager In Training (CMIT) Practice Test

Under the CM-at-Risk delivery method, the owner typically deals with which hybrid?

The Architect and Structural Engineer The Insurer The Construction Manager and a General Contractor The Owner's Inspector

Correct Answer:

The Construction Manager and a General Contractor

Explanation:

CM-at-Risk blends design involvement with a construction delivery approach. The owner hires a Construction Manager at Risk to provide preconstruction services—cost estimating, scheduling, and coordination during design—and then the CM oversees the construction phase by bringing in a General Contractor to perform the work under a Guaranteed Maximum Price. In this setup, the owner commonly interacts with both the Construction Manager at Risk and the General Contractor as the delivery team, rather than with the design team alone, an insurer, or an inspector. This combination lets the owner obtain design input and cost control upfront while transferring the actual building work to a managed contractor under a GMP.
