Record Breaking Year for CMCI!

The Construction Manager Certification Institute's program has grown incredibly in the last few years.  With the exams being administered in January of 2004 from the Washington Metropolitan Area Transportation Authority (WMATA), CMCI now has certified more than 550 CMs!

A large part of CMCI’s growth stems from the importance received by Owners.  Many Owners are now requesting CM Certification in RFPs, and they are also encouraging their employees to become certified as well.

Recently, CMAA's Standards of Practice and CMCI's CM Certification Program received some noteworthy attention in a RFP for CM Services by the US General Services Administration:

"GSA intends to use the "Construction Management Standards of Practice" issued by the Construction Management Association of America (CMAA) in developing task order scopes of work.  GSA also intends to use CMAA publications titled "Contract Administration Procedures", "Time Management Procedures", "Cost Management Procedures", and "Quality Management Guidelines" that supplement the "Construction Management Standards of Practice" in developing the task
order scopes of work.  These CMAA documents establish industry standards of service to define the full range of construction management services without limiting the methods and procedures by which those services will be provided for a particular project or program.  The documents are intended as a guide to the level of services a CM could provide.  The individual task orders will specify the services to be provided.  Not every task order will require every service listed in
these CMAA documents.  Conversely, some task orders may require unique CM services not listed in these documents.

CM firms are encouraged to provide staff certified as construction managers by the Construction Manager Certification Institute sponsored by the CMAA." 

Among some of the Owner firms becoming certified are GSA, US Army Corps of Engineers, Department of Veterans Affairs, Seattle Public Works, Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority and many more.  See Chart below.
