Commercial Construction Project Management Services
Our commercial construction project management approach is not just a concept, but a proven method developed over 74 years. With several expert design and construction professionals on our team, we hand-select the right people to execute your project the way you envision.
Construction Project Management Process: Roles & Responsibilities
Construction project management must encompass the full spectrum of the capital improvement process in order for a project to succeed, and that is what we offer at W. Gohman. We are committed to supporting you throughout the planning, preconstruction, construction, and post-construction process. With our methods, you have more visibility into every aspect and the opportunity to choose your level of involvement.
Partnering With Your Construction Project Manager
Starting from the design phase, we are your advisor and agent for the duration of your project. We will offer input on budgeting, scheduling, and design decisions that align our execution with your goals.
Design & Planning
Your dedicated construction project manager will participate in the design and pre-construction phases to create a list of priorities and establish a preliminary schedule for cost information, redesign, and bid packages. This early involvement increases cost and planning efficiency.
Risk Management
With an expert commercial construction project manager by your side, you’re in a position to assume less risk. They are here to offer expertise and guidance, enforce a safe working environment, and oversee on-site inspections.
Continued Support
After project completion, your construction project manager will remain available to you, your building operators, and your facility managers. We quickly respond to any questions or concerns and follow up with all warranty issues as they occur, giving you the support you need, when you need it.
Commercial Construction Management Project Delivery Methods
We offer two variations of the construction management project delivery method:
Construction Manager at Risk
We work with you and your architect during pre-construction to provide scheduling, estimating, and constructability guidance. As part of our construction management at risk services, we review bids, award contracts, manage subcontractors, and oversee construction from start to finish. Our extensive experience in at risk construction management, combined with strong industry relationships, ensures cost-effective, high-quality construction solutions. By choosing construction management at risk, you gain a collaborative approach that prioritizes budget control, quality assurance, and schedule efficiency.
Construction Manager as Agent
The team at W. Gohman Construction will serve as your construction manager as agent, acting as your consultant throughout the process and writing your agreements with trade contractors. We also coordinate the work onsite, ensure timely completion, and enforce the safety and quality control programs. With experienced project and field management staff committed to excellence, this approach gives you control, transparency, and confidence throughout every phase of your project.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is construction management at risk?
Construction management at risk is a project delivery method where the construction manager commits to delivering the project within a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP). Acting as both a consultant during pre-construction and a general contractor during construction, the CMAR assumes the risk of cost overruns—providing owners with both collaboration and financial protection.
What is construction management as agent ?
Construction management as agent is a delivery method where the construction manager acts solely as the owner's representative or “agent,” without taking on the financial risk of construction. The CMA provides expertise in planning, coordination, and oversight, but all contracts with subcontractors are held directly by the owner.
What are the differences between construction management services and construction project management services?
While both involve overseeing building projects, construction management typically refers to the on-site coordination of labor, materials, and subcontractors during the construction phase. It focuses on ensuring that the build is executed safely, efficiently, and according to plan.
In contrast, construction project management has a broader scope, covering the entire project lifecycle—from initial planning and budgeting to design coordination, permitting, construction, and final delivery. It ensures that all phases of the project are aligned with the client’s goals, timeline, and budget.
At W. Gohman, construction management is a key component within our broader construction project management services. While construction project management encompasses the entire lifecycle of a project—including pre-construction planning, design coordination, budgeting, permitting, and owner communication—our construction management team takes the lead once the project breaks ground. We provide boots-on-the-ground leadership to coordinate daily site activities, manage subcontractors, uphold safety standards, and maintain construction quality. This seamless integration ensures that strategic planning and field execution are fully aligned, giving our clients a well-managed, end-to-end building experience.
Do you help with selecting and managing subcontractors?
Yes. Whether acting as your agent or at-risk manager, we handle bid solicitation, contract awards, and full coordination of subcontractor work. Our strong industry relationships ensure high-quality, reliable trades for every aspect of your project.
