CM at Risk Delivery Enhancing Project Owner Control

Compared to the straight “low bid” process, the Construction Management at Risk (CM at Risk) delivery method gives the owner more control over the process and allows for quality and experience to be considered, rather than simply a low price. We provide a guaranteed maximum price to the owner before construction begins. A CM at Risk delivery returns cost savings to the owner. A competitive fee proposal, coupled with the requirement for a guaranteed maximum price, assures that your facilities will be built economically. With the extra services of CM at Risk, potential savings can range from 5% to 15% of the project cost. M. B. Kahn has completed over $1.2 billion in CM at Risk contracts.

What People Are Saying

“Everyone on the [M. B. Kahn] team was professional, proactive, and team oriented. It is widely believed that contractors and architects are each other’s adversaries. While this is sometimes true, it is not the case with this crew…  They treated us as allies and teammates. This state of mind led to a very successful end product that we can all be proud of, not to mention the long-lasting friendships that we look forward to.”
