Abstract
This paper provides a framework for classifying CM contracting systems for general applicability in different practices. The American, the British and the Finnish CM practices have been used as a frame of reference. Interrelationships between construction phases, processes, parties, procedures, and activities are analysed in the literature. The results classify CM contracts into two main types, a consulting CM and contracting CM based on: (1) the definitions (2) the contractual links and arrangements; (3) the information links; (4) the contractual risks; (5) the project responsibilities; (6) the role of CM firm; and (7) the type of organization that is engaged in CM tasks.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
