About the course

Unlock the full potential of your project delivery with our Construction Management CCDC 5A + 5B Master Class, an intensive workshop focused on the core philosophy of "Managing Risk to Maximize Value." This session goes beyond simple administration, offering an in-depth exploration of how to turn potential project liabilities into strategic advantages. From the perspective of seasoned industry partners, you will gain the clarity to distinguish what CM truly is (and isn't), identify the specific pitfalls that cause projects to fail, and deploy advanced tools to optimize the performance of this Delivery Method.

By deconstructing the advantages and disadvantages of CCDC 5A (Services) versus CCDC 5B (Services and Construction), you will learn to navigate complex compensation structures—including "own forces," the nuances of reimbursable costs, and the critical "Cost of Services vs. Fees" distinction. We will explore the definitive paths to cost reliability, teaching you how to apply forensic skills to compare total RFP costs and weigh the pros and cons of converting to consolidated pricing in a 5B agreement. Whether you are managing the transition from advisor to builder or safeguarding the "Cost of the Work," this Master Class equips you with the high-level expertise to mitigate risk and drive maximum value in today’s volatile market.

Prerequisites: You must have attended the CCDC 5A+5B: Construction Management Keys to Success that is in the Managing Construction Series in order to attend this Workshop.
