Armand’s success in CMAR stems from our  
ability to harmoniously orchestrate a  
symphony of different moving parts  
simultaneously. Beginning with the  
owner/agency and encompassing the entire  
architecture, engineering, and 
subcontracted  construction team, CMAR 
necessitates a  forward-focused approach to 
collaboration and  communication across all 
project variables to  compel win-win 
solutions to any challenge.

Leveraging a team-think process, the CMAR delivery  
method joins owners, designers, and builders in  
dissecting opportunities and obstacles to arrive at a  
Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) based on the  
construction documents, plans and specifications, and  
appropriate contingency. Acting as a consultant to the  
owner, Armand drives the preconstruction process  
through budgeting, estimating, scheduling, quality  
assurance, safety planning, constructability, and site  
logistics planning before establishing an all-inclusive,  
not-to-exceed cost to complete the work. Once the GMP 
 is agreed to, Armand manages subcontractor  
prequalification, bidding, and selection processes to  
establish the full suite of construction resources 
required  to deliver the project on-time and on-budget 
to the  owner’s satisfaction. Cont....

The great benefits of the CMAR delivery method 
compared  to a Bid-Build delivery are succinctly 
summarized by  communication and control. In 
establishing a mutually  beneficial partnership around 
project success between the  design and construction 
team, the CMAR process largely  eliminates the potential 
for adversarial relationships that  can predominate non-
negotiated construction programs.
When impediments to success arise, Armand works side- 
 by-side with architects, engineers, and owners to  
understand challenges and holistically assess solutions 
 that balance cost, schedule, quality, and constructability  
for the good of the whole. The owner’s risk is limited  
through Armand’s advocacy in best-value decision 
making  prior to GMP and through precise project 
management  and performance measurement processes 
once  construction begins.

Serving in an advisory capacity to the client, Armand’s  
success in Construction Manager as Agent stems from 
our  deep appreciation for people, places, processes, 
and  performance. Large-scale commercial construction 
is  enmeshed in complexities of many sorts. From 
financial  and schedule controls to best-value 
selections in means,  methods, materials, and 
resources, strategic, holistic  decision making is always 
the epicenter of successful  execution. In institutional 
settings, where there are often  long-range, ancillary 
variables associated with master  planning, facility 
conditions, funding partners, and  stakeholders, the 
need for a well-rounded construction  management Cont....

Armand’s role in CM as Agent execution is applied from the  
intersection of experience, expertise, and the ability to judiciously  
manage many personalities and occasionally competing interests.  
Working as the Owner’s Representative, in CM as Agent our job is  
to assess situational specifics and assimilate varying perspectives  
toward a common center of mutual success for all involved. For  
Armand, each CM as Agent program begins with assigning a 
single  point-of-contact project manager. The project manager 
will  shepherd the client, consultants, and stakeholders through 
the  design and construction processes as an owner-invested 
expert in  the big picture and fine-grain details of project delivery. 
As the  needs, expectations, challenges, and opportunities of 
the project  reveal themselves, the project manager will tap 
into Armand’s  extensive bank of supplemental professional C ont...

Whether as an agent or an at-risk contractor, 
in  construction earning the client’s trust is job 
one.  Operating from a platform of integrity, 
Armand  advises CM as Agent clients through 
sound, data-  backed situational 
recommendations as project  conditions 
necessitate. Our comprehensive  project 
analysis is greatly enhanced by a learned  ability 
to understand the parts and pieces as well  as 
the people and processes that intertwine to  
make each project wholly distinct and 
uniquely  important to the clients that hire us.

Working as an extension of the contracting entity, Armand provides comprehensive Program Management  
services to municipal, regional, and state government agencies faced with overwhelming workloads. Our

Change management is a critical constant for many public sector agencies faced with daunting, large-scale, multi-
project  community recovery or institutional rehabilitation programs. While municipal agencies often have internal 
construction  management professionals, many are underprepared to manage the depth and breadth of assignments 
involved in a  federally funding disaster recovery program when time is of the essence and execution requires stringent 
compliance,  control, and reporting. Beginning with assessment and extending through project prioritization and 
construction  realization, Armand supports clients with dedicated, seasoned construction administrators who help

Program Managers are tasked with Tfinancial compliance, resource management, program and project documentation in  
strict compliance with funding agency requirements. Armand’s team is presently overseeing construction execution on an  
array of assignments ranging from heavy civil infrastructure and institutional rehabilitation to single-family home recovery 
in  times of urgent need and significant community impact. In all this work, time management is imperative, as is our 
ability to  change gears on a moment’s notice in response to a myriad of continually changing variables that frequently 
surround these  projects. Appreciating both the micro and the macro objectives of a particular program is the starting point. 
Learning the  workflow and specific personalities involved on the client level and tailoring the application of our services to 
agency and  individual needs and expectations set the stage for smooth, efficient, effective program management services.

Design-Build delivery requires consistent  
collaboration across all disciplines to  
synchronize owner expectations with  
design achievability and the realities of  
construction schedules, constraints, and  
logistics. Armand serves as a vital advocate  
for excellence in all regards by unifying each 
 project’s many diverse influences around  
maximizing owner and user benefits  
through strong communication and team  
orchestration.

Design-Build projects take advantage of a single-  
point-of-accountability approach that umbrellas  
designers, engineering, and subconsultants under  
the design-builder’s authority to save time and  
money in project delivery by streamlining 
execution.   Success in this methodology begins 
with assessing  and assembling the right team and 
harmonizing  owner expectations with design and 
construction  perspectives from the project’s earliest 
interactions.  The design solution and congruent 
cost and schedule  tracking are advanced through 
owner approvals with  deliberate intent. 
Opportunities to compel beneficial  cost and time 
savings through early bid packages,  prefabrication 
strategies, and tighter control of  quality, safety, and 
logistics are all integrated into  design objectives C ont...
