Hybrid Model - Project Management & Construction Management
━ WhAT WE DO
What is the Hybrid PM/CM model?
Our hybrid PM/CM model combines project and construction management into one streamlined role, reducing costs without sacrificing quality. This approach ensures on-site supervision and project coordination tailored for smaller projects. Enjoy full-spectrum oversight with fewer hours and greater efficiency.
How Does It Work?
Our hybrid PM/CM model redefines construction management by merging the roles of Project Manager (PM) and Construction Manager (CM) into one streamlined, cost-effective solution. Rather than staffing two separate roles, our hybrid manager strategically divides their time—providing essential on-site oversight as a CM while handling project administration as a PM.
During project initiation, we collaborate with clients to determine the ideal frequency of on-site visits, ensuring full transparency and alignment from the start. This flexible model delivers the oversight your project needs without unnecessary overhead, resulting in significant cost savings and exceptional value.
For smaller projects, our hybrid approach offers the efficiency of two roles in one, maximizing value and minimizing the cost.
Here's how it works:
Project Oversight
In a traditional setup, a CM spends 40 hours per week on-site, managing day-to-day activities like coordinating trades, tracking progress, and ensuring compliance with project specifications. With our hybrid model, the hybrid manager combines these responsibilities with those typically handled by the PM, providing focused on-site management for critical phases and tasks. This approach ensures that the project maintains momentum without requiring full-time on-site presence, which saves costs.
Project Administration
The PM’s role usually covers budgeting, scheduling, and communication with stakeholders, typically from an off-site location, about 20 hours a week. Our hybrid PM/CM manager integrates these tasks while actively involved in on-site activities. They manage budgets, timelines, and stakeholder communication directly, which enables faster decision-making and keeps the project moving efficiently.
Tailored Time Allocation
The hybrid manager adjusts their time between on-site supervision and off-site project administration, based on the specific needs of the project stage. During critical phases (e.g., start-up, inspections, or major milestones), the hybrid manager will spend more time on-site to ensure smooth execution. During planning or less intensive phases, their focus shifts to administrative responsibilities, allowing for better time management and cost efficiency.
Cost Efficiency
By consolidating the PM and CM roles, we eliminate the need for two separate team members, reducing the overall hourly commitment and, ultimately, the project’s cost. This hybrid approach is particularly well-suited for smaller projects, where having separate roles can be excessive but streamlined oversight is still essential.
Enhanced Communication & Accountability
With a single hybrid manager overseeing both project oversight and administration, communication channels are simplified, reducing the chance of miscommunication between separate managers. This unified approach keeps all project elements aligned and increases accountability for the project’s success.
