May 16, 2003—The American Subcontractors Association (ASA) has formally endorsed the CM Certification Program of the Construction Management Association of America as a benchmark for the professional CM.
CMAA’s voluntary Certification Program was launched in 1994 to identify those individuals who have at least four years of responsible-in-charge experience as a construction manager. Experience must include pre-design, design, bidding, construction, and post construction activities. The applicant must also pass a comprehensive examination which tests knowledge of project management, contract administration, cost management, time management, quality management, and safety management. Additionally, the exam tests the applicant’s knowledge of the CMAA code of ethics.
