TheCMAA Standards of Practice (Chapter 6 – Contract Administration)describes that the CM’s role in contract administration includes planning for theimplementation of drawings, specifications, and applicable standards. It states:
“Contract administration includes establishing and maintaining procedures for the implementation of drawings, specifications, standards, and contract requirements.”
Standards ensure that construction meets established technical and performance criteria. The CM must integrate these elements to maintain quality and compliance during the execution phase.
