CM-at-Risk standard contracts (CMAR-1) correspond to which form?

CM-at-Risk standard contracts (CMAR-1) correspond to which form?

• A. Standard Form of Agreement, CM, Contractor
• B. General Conditions, CM-Contractor (2002 Ed.)
• C. General Conditions, CM-Contractor (2002 Ed.)
• D. Standard Form of Agreement, Owner-CM

Answer: (D)

In CMAR, the owner hires the construction manager to act as the project lead from design through construction, typically with a guaranteed maximum price, so the contract is directly between the owner and the CM. That arrangement is captured by the Standard Form of Agreement, Owner-CM, which is specifically designed for an owner-construction manager relationship. The other forms imply the CM is acting as a contractor under general conditions or use a different pairing (CM as the contractor or CM-Contractor), which doesn’t fit the CMAR delivery method.
