  • Abstract:
    This paper provides a framework for classifying CM contracting systems for general applicability in different practices. The American, the British and the Finnish CM practices have been used as a frame of reference. Interrelationships between construction phases, processes, parties, procedures, and activities are analysed in the literature. The results classify CM contracts into two main types, a consulting CM and contracting CM based on: (1) the definitions (2) the contractual links and arrangements; (3) the information links; (4) the contractual risks; (5) the project responsibilities; (6) the role of CM firm; and (7) the type of organization that is engaged in CM tasks.
