Design management has become the most important component of the CM&D project management delivery system. If a project's design is carefully managed to ensure it is consistent with the owner's vision, schedule, and budget, then the construction process is a simple execution procedure. At each major juncture in the design process, CM&D conducts a team oriented critical review of the project documents. This assures that what is being created by the design team is constructable within the established budget, consistent with the owner's intent, and free of design conflicts, which adds costly redesign, schedule delays, and change orders down the road. The team is able to uncover potential problems and through value engineering strategies, resolve critical issues, thereby avoiding hidden costs and lengthy delays. Value engineering applied during this crucial early design development phase results in greater control and more predictable outcomes, maximizing the owner's construction investment.
