Under a Construction Management at-Risk arrangement, Tekton joins the project team during design — taking on cost and schedule risk in exchange for deep involvement in design decisions, procurement strategy, and constructability. A Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) is established at an agreed design milestone, giving owners budget certainty while maintaining scope flexibility during design development.
CM at-Risk is particularly effective for complex or fast-track projects where early contractor involvement produces measurable value — reducing design coordination risk, compressing preconstruction timelines, and aligning construction systems decisions with budget targets before the design is finalized.
Why Owners Choose This Delivery Method
- Guaranteed Maximum Price provides budget certainty before construction begins
- Early contractor involvement reduces design coordination risk and change orders
- Concurrent design and procurement compresses overall project timeline
- Shared cost accountability aligns contractor and owner interests
- Optimal for phased or complex projects requiring design-construction overlap
