... The aim of this project delivery method is to engage at-risk construction expertise early in the design process to enhance constructability, manage risk, and facilitate concurrent execution of design and construction without the owner giving up control over the details of design as it would in a design-build project. CMR project delivery has long been used in the building industry to deliver projects that require early contractor involvement to optimize cost, schedule, and quality.
From page 2...
