to as a Delivery Method.
• Many owners and developers, particularly in
the public sector, now favor Program
Management.
• Where they lack sufficient expertise or

basic phases:
• Real state – Locating and Purchasing real property (land),
identifying its real use, arranging for zoning, permitting,
and environmental compliance
• Financing – Process of obtaining funds to pay for and
develop real property
• Design – Includes architectural and engineering work
• Construction – Improvements are made to real property
• Occupancy – Finished construction product is leased or
sold, Operations and maintenance are setup
Five Phases of Every Project
Construction Phase Model
• Owners often select a management method based
on their comfort level with respect to the various
phases of project development and available in-
house resources to manage those phases
effectively
• For example, most commercial developers and
public owners are confident in their ability to
manage the real state, financing and occupancy
phases
Five Phases of Every Project
Construction Phase Model
• It is a fundamental principal that someone need to
take overall responsibility for each phase of the
construction process
• Many owners retain independent sources to
manage design and construction phase work
Five Phases of Every Project
Construction Phase Model
– Program Managers are typically used in situations
