INTRODUCTION
• Due to the increasing complexity of construction projects, there is an upward
demand for more effective cost control and faster project implementation consistent
with high quality of work. Construction Management Services were thus instituted to
fill this need in the construction industry.
• The Construction Manager (CM) could either be:
❑ a member of the staff of the Owner,
❑ an independent individual, or
❑ a firm hired by the Owner to manage the construction of a particular project.
• The Architect can serve as the Construction Manager (CM). His training in the
coordination of various specialties allows him to supervise and assure proper
monitoring of all construction activities with regards to quality, workmanship and
cost.
• FUNCTIONS AND DESCRIPTIONS OF

FUNCTIONS AND DESCRIPTIONS
• The responsibilities of the Construction Manager (CM) include the functions
of the Construction Supervision Group (CSG). (reference Doc. 204-A and
Architect’s Guidelines)
❑ Coordination and Supervision

❑ Quality Control of Work and
❑ Keeping of Records
• The Construction Manager (CM) may hire the CSG to be under his employ
or may supervise the CSG hired directly by the Owner.
• LIMITATION OF AUTHORITY
LIMITATION OF AUTHORITY
• The Architect as the Construction Manager shall not:
• Involve himself directly with the work of the Contractor such that it may be
constructed that he is assuming the Contractor’s liability as provided for in
Article 1723, etc. of the Civil Code.
• Impose methods, systems or designs that will substantially affect the
construction schedule and impair the design concept of the Architect.
• LEGAL RESPONSIBILITY
LEGAL RESPONSIBILITY
• The Architect as the Construction Manager (CM) is directly responsible to the
Owner on all aspects of the construction work: programming, coordination,
quality and cost control and time management.

• The CM assumes no liability in case equipment fail to function or if a portion of

the building collapses:
▪ due to deficiencies in the plan / design, provided the CM did not participate
in the plan / design review and approval, or
▪ due to the deficiencies in the manner of construction, provided the CM
faithfully discharged his function/s during the construction / project
implementation.
• QUALIFICATIONS
QUALIFICATIONS
• The Construction Manager may be an individual or a firm.
• The individual or the principal of the firm must be a State-regulated
professional, preferably an Architect with managerial capabilities and
extensive experience in the field of construction. The Architect must be a
Registered and Licensed Architects (RLA), with an updated professional
identification card and must be a member in good standing of the Integrated
and Accredited Professional Organization of Architects (IAPOA).
• Architects who are Contractors or who have already been in responsible
charge of construction works are usually capable of becoming Construction
Managers (CMs).

the normal architectural and engineering (A&E) services carried out during
the pre-design, design and construction phase. The over-all objective is to
have control over time, cost and quality relative to the construction of a
project.
b) The presence of a Project Manager does not relieve the designers and
contractors of their respective normal duties and responsibilities in the
design and construction of the project. The PM complements the functions
of the Architects, Engineers and Contractors in meeting the broad and
complex requirements of projects.

• SCOPE OF REGULAR DESIGN SERVICES

SCOPE OF SERVICES
a) Pre-Construction Phase : As early as during the design development
phase, perhaps even concurrently with the Architect’s commission, the
Project Manager (PM) should conduct regular consultations with the Owner
and with the Architects and Engineers (for A&E services) on all aspects of
planning for the project.

b) Construction Phase : If the Project Manager (PM) also serves as the

Construction Manager (CM) to oversee time, cost and quality control during
the construction of the project, he shall provide the services detailed under
SPP Documents 204-A and/or 204-B.

• MANNER OF PROVIDING SERVICES

COMPREHENSIVE ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES
a) Normally, the Architect enters into a contract with the Owner to perform Comprehensive
Architectural Services. By the very nature of the services, he assumes the dual role of the
Project Manager (PM) and the Construction Manager (CM), or effectively the overall
coordinator whose functions are outlined under this SPP.
b) To perform the variety of services indicated under the Comprehensive Architectural
Services, the Architect must make full use of his own capability as well as of services
offered by other professionals. He may expand his staff by hiring the experts needed, or he
may form a team consisting of professionals such as but not limited to:
1) Architects
2) Engineers
3) Market Analysts
4) Accountants
5) General Contractors
6) Real Estate Consultants
7) Sociologists
8) Planners
9) Bankers
10) Lawyers
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
a) If a Project Manager (PM) is hired by the Owner, it may be the responsibility of the PM to
either hire the Construction Manager (CM) to be paid either by him or directly by the Owner
on salary, or on the basis of percentage of construction cost or to serve as the CM himself.
In like manner, the Fulltime Supervisor can either be a staff member of the PM or hired
directly by the Owner.
b) The Project Manager (PM, whether individual or firm) operates as a member of an Owner-
Architect-Engineer-Contractor Team. In the Team Approach, each member of the team will
have precedence in his own field of operations or expertise. In accordance with this
principle:
1. The Architect and the Specialist Consultants (SCs) will have prime responsibility for the
plan/design of the project.
2. The Engineers will be responsible for their respective engineering plans.
3. The Contractor shall be responsible for his men and equipment and the delivery of the
project.
4. The Owner makes decisions on the project and assures that funds are available to
complete the project.
5. The Project Manager (PM)’s primary responsibility is the exercise of overall cost control.
He will plan, program and monitor the various activities, and will act as an adviser on
material costs and construction methods.
