NCIDQ Interior Design Professional Exam (IDPX) Practice Exam

Involving a construction manager (CM) in project delivery offers the primary benefit of speeding up the construction schedule through the overlap of tasks. A construction manager effectively coordinates project activities, allowing for different phases to be executed concurrently rather than sequentially. This method, known as fast-tracking, reduces the overall timeline of the project, enabling the owner to occupy the space sooner and potentially start generating revenue or utilizing the facilities earlier than if a traditional, linear approach was taken.

The CM’s expertise in logistics, scheduling, and resource management allows for better planning and efficiency on-site. For instance, while one phase is being completed, preparations for the next phase can commence, which mitigates downtime. This increased efficiency not only accelerates project delivery but can also lead to improved project outcomes and reduced delays.
