The Manual has been developed in collaboration with over 50 entities within the KU community and will serve as a communication tool to provide a better understanding of the Project delivery process and the services that the Offi ce of Design and Construction Management provides. The Manual will also serve as a guide for DCM s Project Managers (PM) to deliver projects with systematic best practice policies and procedures.

This document helps to organize and streamline these processes based upon the type of funding and the estimated construction cost of the Project . The Manual describes a standardized process for each of the fi ve phases of Project delivery --- Project initiation, funding, design, construction, and close out --- including required approvals and deliverables, a Project Management checklist, applicable forms and templates, and graphic representations of the control procedures have been identifi ed.
