The processes between Construction Management and General Contracting differ primarily due to the roles and responsibilities prior to construction. The overall success of a project is directly correlated to the amount of effort, co-ordination, collaboration etc. that is done prior to construction. The construction management process allows these preconstruction tasks to take place whereas the General Contractor has no involvement until such time as a complete set of construction documentation is provided by the consultants and owner.
