CM At-Risk

 

Commitment to managing the project with the Owner's best interests in mind

    Construction manager At-Risk (CM At-Risk) is a method for delivering projects effectively and efficiently, with the construction manager and architect working closely together up front to get the project designed and built in the most efficient way.

    The construction manager acts as consultant to the owner in the development and design phases, but as the equivalent of a general contractor during the construction phase.

    A CM At-Risk project is delivered within a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) which is based on the construction documents and specifications at the time of the GMP,  plus any reasonably inferred items or asks.

    111 Coleman & Parking Deck

    Mt. Pleasant, SC
    CM At-Risk

    111 Coleman and Parking Deck project is a 40,000 SF, Class A office space that is a four-story building located adjacent to famous Shem Creek in Mt. Pleasant, SC. The site also borders the busy Coleman Boulevard, and historic Mill Street in the Old Village of Mt. Pleasant. The office space is elevated above two levels of precast concrete parking deck due to the flood zone requirements. The office space has a common lobby for tenants to enter and exit. The building and parking structure each include over 400, 80 foot long prestress concrete piles. The exterior building envelope consists of precast panels with inlaid brick. There is an additional two levels of precast parking structure adjacent to the office space for use by the office tenants and the public for better access to Shem Creek and its businesses. The unique site location created unique challenges for both design and construction such as closely regulated building aesthetics, flood zone, soil type, seismic zone, wind speed category, minimal site access and staging, and major Mt. Pleasant festivals.
